It is common to have local swelling after any surgery. He should keep his affected foot elevated as much as is possible. In the morning when swelling is minimal, he can use a graduated compression soft roll with elaso crepe bandage toes to knees to avoid swelling, for 3 to 4 weeks or so. The bandage should be tight at the toes and slowly reducing compression as it is wound up to the knee.
