What is foot surgery?
Foot surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at correcting deformities, addressing injuries, or alleviating pain in the foot. These surgeries are performed to restore function, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life. Conditions treated through foot surgery can include structural abnormalities, traumatic injuries, and chronic pain from various causes.
Foot surgery indications
Foot surgery may be indicated for several reasons, including:
- Persistent pain: Pain that remains unrelieved despite attempts at conservative treatments like medication or physical therapy.
- Deformities: Structural issues like bunions, hammertoes, or flatfoot that affect foot function and comfort.
- Injuries: Trauma or fractures that require surgical intervention for proper healing.
- Chronic conditions: Long-term issues like Morton’s neuroma or soft tissue sports injuries that impair foot function.
