R&B singer Usher underwent foot surgery and wants you to be apart of the process. That's right, the "You Got It Bad" singer snapped a video of himself in the hospital right before surgery.
Then the 36-year-old also posted a selfie to his Instagram page of him wearing a hospital gown and mob cap, with the caption "Wish me well....space of improvement #footdown #6milliondollarman", although he never specifies exactly what the issue with his foot is.

Usher may be sidelined for a few weeks because anyone who has foot surgery, the bone healing process generally has three overlapping stages: inflammation, bone production, and bone remodeling.
- Inflammation starts immediately after the bone is fractured and lasts for several days. When the bone is fractured there is bleeding into the area, leading to inflammation and clotting of blood at the fracture site. This provides the initial structural stability and framework for producing new bone.
- Bone production begins when the clotted blood formed by inflammation is replaced with fibrous tissue and cartilage (known as “soft callus”). As healing progresses, the soft callus is replaced with hard bone (known as “hard callus”), which is visible on x-rays several weeks after the fracture.
- Bone remodeling, the final phase of bone healing, goes on for several months. In remodeling, bone continues to form and becomes compact, returning to its original shape. In addition, blood circulation in the area improves. Once adequate bone healing has occurred, weightbearing (such as standing or walking) encourages bone remodeling.
Bone healing speed and success differ among individuals. The time required for bone healing can be affected by many factors, including the type of fracture and the patient's age, underlying medical conditions, and nutritional status. Bone generally takes 6 to 8 weeks to heal to a significant degree.
We are wishing Usher a speedy recovery.
