What is Reconstructive Foot Surgery?
Reconstructive surgery refers to a series of procedures aimed at restoring the normal structure and function of the foot or ankle. This type of surgery is typically necessary when non-surgical treatments—such as physical therapy, medications, or orthotics—are no longer effective in treating the condition.
The goal of reconstructive foot surgery is to restore the foot’s natural alignment, alleviate pain, and allow the patient to regain full function and mobility. Our podiatrists use the latest surgical techniques and state-of-the-art technology to ensure the best outcomes for our patients.
Common Conditions Treated with Reconstructive Surgery
Reconstructive surgery is often used to treat a variety of foot and ankle conditions, including those caused by injury, deformity, or disease. Here are some common conditions we treat with reconstructive surgery:
Bunion Correction Surgery (Bunionectomy)
Bunions are one of the most common foot deformities, where the big toe joint becomes misaligned, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. Bunion surgery can help realign the bones, remove the bony bump, and correct the alignment of the toes for improved function and comfort.
Procedure Options: Bone realignment, joint fusion, or soft tissue correction, depending on the severity of the bunion..
Hammertoe Surgery
Hammertoes are deformities in which the toes become bent at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. This condition can lead to pain, difficulty walking, and restricted footwear options. Hammertoe surgery aims to straighten the affected toe and alleviate discomfort.
Procedure Options: Tendon release, joint fusion, or bone removal, depending on the degree of deformity.
Flat Foot Reconstruction Surgery
Flat feet (or fallen arches) occur when the arches of the feet collapse, causing pain, instability, and difficulty with movement. Reconstructive surgery for flat feet can realign the bones, tendons, and ligaments to restore the natural arch and improve foot function.
Procedure Options: Tendon transfer, bone realignment, and ligament reconstruction to restore the arch and reduce pain.
Trauma and Injury Repair Surgery
If you’ve experienced a traumatic injury, such as fractures, dislocations, or tendon damage, reconstructive surgery may be necessary to repair the damage, restore function, and prevent future complications.
Procedure Options: Bone reconstruction, tendon repair, or joint stabilization, depending on the injury.
Arthritis Deformities and Joint Reconstruction
Arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, can lead to joint pain, stiffness, and deformities. Reconstructive surgery for arthritis may involve joint fusion, tendon repair, or other procedures to alleviate pain and improve joint mobility.
Procedure Options: Joint fusion, cartilage repair, or joint replacement to restore function and reduce pain.
Tendon and Ligament Repair Surgery
Conditions such as tendonitis or tendon ruptures may require reconstructive surgery to repair damaged tendons or ligaments. These surgeries can help restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve function.
Procedure Options: Tendon repair, tendon transfer, or ligament reconstruction to restore movement and strength.
