Foot Deformity Correction
Foot deformities can cause significant discomfort, impacting daily activities and mobility. When conservative treatments fail, surgical intervention can provide effective relief and restore normal foot function. Below are the surgical options we offer for various foot deformities:
Hallux Valgus (Bunions)
Surgical Procedure:
Bunionectomy
Removal of the bony bump on the side of the big toe joint.
Osteotomy
Cutting and realigning the bones of the big toe to correct its position.
Soft Tissue Release
Tight ligaments & tendons adjusted to reduce deformity & improve alignment.
Expected Outcome: Relief from pain, improved toe alignment, and better shoe fit.
Heel Spur (Plantar Fasciitis)
Surgical Procedure:
Plantar Fascia Release
Partially cutting the plantar fascia to relieve tension and reduce inflammation.
Heel Spur Removal
Excision of the bony spur to alleviate pain, often done in combination with plantar fascia release.
Expected Outcome: Reduced heel pain, improved mobility, and quicker return to daily activities.
Flatfoot (Pes Planus)
Surgical Procedure:
Tendon Transfer
Reinforces the arch by replacing damaged tendons with healthy ones.
Osteotomy
Bone-cutting procedures to realign the foot and recreate the arch.
Arthrodesis (Fusion)
Fusion of joints in severe cases to provide stability and pain relief.
Expected Outcome: Restoration of the foot arch, improved gait, and reduced pain.
Hammer Toes
Surgical Procedure:
- Tendon Release: Lengthening or releasing the tendon to allow the toe to straighten.
- Joint Fusion: Fusing the small toe joints to correct deformity and prevent recurrence.
- Digital Arthroplasty: Removing part of the bone to straighten the toe.
Expected Outcome: Straightened toes, relief from pain, and elimination of corns and calluses.
High Arch Foot (Cavus Foot)
Surgical Procedure:
- Soft Tissue Release: Releasing tight ligaments and tendons to improve foot flexibility.
- Osteotomy: Bone realignment procedures to reduce arch height and improve foot function.
- Triple Arthrodesis: Fusion of three major foot joints in severe cases to provide stability.
Expected Outcome: Better foot alignment, reduced pain, and improved balance.
Metatarsalgia
Surgical Procedure:
- Metatarsal Osteotomy: Shortening or realigning the metatarsal bones to redistribute pressure.
- Plantar Plate Repair: Repairing the ligaments supporting the toes to reduce pain in the ball of the foot.
Expected Outcome: Alleviation of forefoot pain, improved foot mechanics, and enhanced comfort.
Claw Toes
Surgical Procedure:
- Tendon Transfer or Release: Correcting muscle imbalance to allow the toe to lie flat.
- Arthrodesis (Joint Fusion): Permanent fusion of the affected joints for severe or fixed deformities.
Expected Outcome: Reduction in pain, correction of toe deformity, and prevention of corns and pressure sores.
Why Opt for Surgery?
