Foot & Ankle Surgery
Overview
Numerous foot and ankle disorders, including bunions, tendon tears, and severe arthritis, can be treated surgically. Surgery on the feet and ankles is usually reserved for cases in which nonsurgical measures have failed to produce the intended outcome. However, some illnesses could necessitate emergency surgery, particularly acute injuries like ankle fractures.
Conditions of the foot and ankle can be treated with a variety of surgical techniques. The purpose of the operation may vary depending on the nature of the condition; it may involve realigning fractured bones, fusing inflamed joints, excising excessive tissue, or fixing a torn ligament or tendon. Total ankle replacement may be advised in situations where there is severe ankle joint pain and extensive deterioration.
