Surgery (Foot & Ankle)

Foot and Ankle Surgery

At our practice, we prioritize conservative treatments to address foot and ankle problems. However, there are times when non-surgical options are not sufficient, and surgical intervention becomes necessary. Our goal is to provide expert care and ensure a seamless surgical experience that restores your mobility and quality of life.

Types of Foot and Ankle Surgeries We Offer

Hospital-Based Surgeries: More complex procedures, such as reconstructive foot surgery or joint repair, performed with mild sedation and local anesthesia for maximum comfort and safety.

In-Office Procedures: Minor surgeries performed under local anesthesia, such as ingrown toenail removal or small cyst excisions.

When is Surgery Necessary?

Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments such as orthotics, physical therapy, or medications fail to alleviate pain or resolve the issue. Common conditions that may require surgery include:

  • Severe bunions or hammertoes.
  • Chronic tendonitis or tendon ruptures.
  • Advanced arthritis or joint deformities.
  • Fractures that do not heal with immobilization.
  • Reconstructive procedures for structural abnormalities.
