I can't turn my right foot towards the outside after ankle surgery?

Any surgeon has the obligation to explain the surgery to his patient. Are you sure he never told you? That seems against medical ethics. If you are unclear, call the nurse and tell her you need accurate information.

I would then have a serious talk with the physical therapist to see what his/her take on your inability to regain full range-of-motion.

The collective is not clairvoyant, sad to say. And if you feel uncomfortable addressing this issue by yourself, do you have a parent, family member or ombudsman who can help you?

There is now a wide-spread Patients Bill of Rights in the US,

Was the surgery done in the US? Have you been a good patient and done all the exercises that your physical therapist recommended? Isn’t he or she supervising your recovery?

@Moegitto: When I had my wisdom teeth out the doctor told me about the procedure as I was given gas and after I was being woken up from anesthesia. Well, that’s what they said they did one my return visit for minor complications. They scolded me for not following up on their after care directions – which they gave me when I was heavily drugged!

People are idiots sometimes. Doctors are people. Call the office/hospital and speak to the doctor who did your surgery and make sure he explains it to you thoroughly and clearly.

It’s your foot! And it’s not acting the way it should – do something about it. Demand attention if you don’t feel you were given the care you should have been. Seriously, go over the link @gailcalled gave you.
