Hi,

It is very unlikely that surgery for closure of pressure sore will cause an inability to walk or stand. There might be some other condition along with bed sore- perhaps some neurological disorder which in progressive I nature.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
