- Patients are understandably concerned about having to take time off after a procedure of this type. A day of rest is all that is necessary following the operation and many patients having a PNA choose to have it scheduled for a Friday evening for this reason. Then patients simply have to ensure that the dressings on the toe are kept dry between appointments.
- Re-dressings continue until the toe is healed. Usually the toe will require two to three re-dressings.
- An important part of the follow-up care is to attend for a check-up 3 months following the operation.
