We understand that foot and ankle problems can greatly impact daily life, which is why we offer a variety of surgical options to address these issues.

Types of Foot and Ankle Surgery

There are many types of foot and ankle surgery that may be recommended depending on your specific condition. Some common procedures include:

  • Bunionectomy: This surgery involves the removal of a bony bump at the base of the big toe, known as a bunion.
  • Hammertoe correction: In this procedure, an abnormal bend in one or more toes is straightened out.
  • Plantar fascia release: This surgery is used to treat plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain.
  • Achilles tendon repair: A torn or damaged Achilles tendon may require surgery to repair.

These are just a few examples, as there are many other surgical options available for various foot and ankle problems.

The Surgical Process

Before undergoing foot and ankle surgery, our team will thoroughly evaluate your condition to determine the best course of treatment. We will also discuss any potential risks or complications associated with the procedure.

During the surgery, you will be given anesthesia to ensure that you are comfortable and pain-free. The length and complexity of the surgery will depend on your specific needs.

After the procedure, we will provide you with detailed instructions for post-operative care to promote proper healing and a successful outcome. This may include wearing a cast or protective boot, using crutches to avoid putting weight on the affected foot or ankle, and attending follow-up appointments with our team.

Benefits of Foot and Ankle Surgery

Foot and ankle surgery can greatly improve your quality of life by addressing chronic pain, correcting deformities, and improving overall function. By addressing the root cause of your foot or ankle problems, surgery can provide long-lasting relief and prevent future complications.
