Foot & Ankle Surgery

Foot and ankle surgery involves medical procedures to treat conditions affecting the bones, tendons, ligaments, and joints in the foot and ankle. It aims to relieve pain, correct deformities, and restore function.

Surgery is recommended when conservative treatments like medications, physical therapy, or orthotics fail to improve conditions such as severe fractures, arthritis, tendon injuries, or deformities.

While some discomfort is expected, pain is managed with anesthesia during the procedure and medications during recovery. Most patients report significant pain relief after healing.

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery but generally ranges from 6 weeks to several months. Complex surgeries may require longer rehabilitation.

Yes, many foot and ankle surgeries require a period of non-weight bearing with the use of crutches, a cast, or a walking boot to protect the surgical site.

Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the recovery process, focusing on restoring range of motion, strengthening the muscles around the hip joint, improving mobility, and gradually returning to normal activities. Physical therapy is initiated soon after surgery to prevent complications and promote healing. The duration and intensity of rehabilitation may vary depending on the severity of the fracture and the individual’s overall health and progress.
