A few days after Thanksgiving, the hardware my surgeon removed from my foot arrived in the mail!!!

| Hardware used to heal my lisfranc fracture |
My surgeon knows I have been writing a lisfranc blog and was more than happy to let me keep the hardware he used to help my body heal from a lisfranc fracture.

| lisfranc fracture plate |
 |
| lisfranc fracture screws |
What amazed me was to see the screws varied in color, physical size and thread size. Check out the teeth at the end of the screws!!! YIKES! Maybe it was for the best that my anesthesiologist would not let me watch either surgery!

lisfranc fracture screws
Psychologically it has been very rewarding to think I no longer have plates and screws in my foot. My surgeon has assured me that in the next 6 weeks, the holes in my bones left by the screws will fill in.

Hello, very nice bLog, thanks! I'm recovering from Lisfranc surgery and it's interesting to compare my milestones to yours. I have more hardware than you had, but am in a regular shoe 8 weeks after surgery. Strength hasn't fully returned to the leg yet - am walking with a limp now. Hoping to start swimming soon. Walking around barefoot at home. It helps to know from your post what may happen after hardware removal surgery. (by the way, minor typo: in a previous post you wrote "isle" in two places instead of "aisle.") Thanks again for sharing this!
