FOOT & ANKLE SURGERY
FOOT & ANKLE SURGERY
Foot and Ankle Surgery is a specialized treatment option designed to address a variety of conditions that affect the lower extremities, including injuries, deformities, and chronic conditions such as arthritis or tendonitis. These procedures aim to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and restore function, helping patients return to an active and pain-free lifestyle. From repairing fractures and correcting deformities to treating conditions like flat feet, bunions, or Achilles tendon injuries, foot and ankle surgeries are tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Using advanced surgical techniques and cutting-edge technology, our skilled surgeons ensure precise outcomes and effective recovery strategies, allowing for a smooth transition back to daily activities with enhanced comfort and stability.
- Flexible and fast scheduling
- Regular quality assurance
Here’s how it works:
Pre-Surgical Evaluation
A thorough assessment is performed, including medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging (X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans) to determine the extent of the injury or condition. This helps the surgeon plan the most effective surgical approach.
Anesthesia Administration
The patient is given either local or general anesthesia depending on the complexity of the surgery, ensuring they remain pain-free throughout the procedure. This step is crucial for patient comfort and safety.
Surgical Procedure
The surgeon carefully makes an incision at the site of the injury or condition, addressing issues such as fractures, ligament tears, or deformities. Techniques like joint fusion, tendon repair, or bone realignment are employed, depending on the diagnosis.
Post-Surgery Care & Rehabilitation
After surgery, the foot and ankle are immobilized with casts or splints to promote healing. A structured rehabilitation program follows, including physical therapy, to restore strength, flexibility, and mobility for full recovery.
Foot and Ankle surgery is commonly used for conditions like
Ankle Fractures
Severe breaks or fractures in the bones of the ankle may require surgical intervention to properly align and stabilize the bones for healing, particularly in complex or displaced fractures.
Bunions (Hallux Valgus)
A deformity in which the big toe shifts towards the other toes, causing pain and difficulty in walking. Surgery is often needed to correct the misalignment when conservative treatments no longer provide relief.
Achilles Tendon Injuries
Ruptures or severe tears in the Achilles tendon often require surgical repair to restore strength and function, especially for active individuals or those with significant tendon damage.
Flat Feet (Pes Planus)
The collapse of the foot's arch, leading to pain, instability, and misalignment, often necessitating surgical correction to realign the foot and improve functionality, especially when conservative methods fail.
Plantar Fasciitis
Chronic heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, often requiring surgical intervention when nonsurgical treatments like stretching, orthotics, or injections fail to alleviate symptoms.
Tendon & Ligament Injuries
Tears or ruptures of critical tendons or ligaments in the foot and ankle, such as the posterior tibial tendon, may require surgical repair to restore stability and mobility.
