Regarding Foot Corn and surgery
Hi there,
Today my mother got her foot corn removed thru surgery.
It was around half an inch long and 8-10mm width.
So they have sent it for a test named "H.P.T"
No other tests are prescribed for the same.
Out of my concern and tension, just want to know what corn could indicate to send it for the test. HPT test stands for what and how could it be related to the foot corn.
Could anyone please help me on this.
Thanks in advance!!
