Orthopedic Foot Surgery
When you have a foot deformity that immobilizes you and causes severe discomfort, orthopedic foot surgery can help. Here are some of the most common conditions that thisprocedure is used for.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis This form of arthritis causes severe pain because of stiffness and swelling of the joints. You can lose functional movement due to overly swollen ankles as your joints begin to lose their lubrication. Rheumatoid arthritis commonly happens because of aging but sometimes is caused by other diseases, such as immune system disorders.
Foot Deformities
Foot Deformities Either due to injury or genetics, foot deformities tend to be incredibly painful and troublesome for the patient. This is when there is a positional abnormality in the foot that can only be corrected with the help of surgical methods.
Metatarsal Surgery
Metatarsal Surgery This surgery targets the metatarsal bones in the feet. These long bones connect the ankle bones to the toe bones and provide stability to the entire foot. When these bones are properly aligned, you can walk properly.
Adult Flatfoot
Adult Flatfoot Flatfoot occurs when the foot has no arch and becomes deformed. Some common treatments include foot inserts and arch supports, however when it is too severe then surgery can be utilized.
Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction
Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction When the posterior tibial tendon is torn or gets inflamed, this can negatively impact the function of the foot and ankle. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction can be treated with the use of braces and orthotics. However, sometimes healing doesn’t occur or the orthotics don’t provide enough pain relief. This is why surgery is a good option to help remove the inflamed tissue.
Severe Neuromas
Severe Neuromas Neuromas occur when there is tissue growth around nerves that can cause issues to the surrounding area. Most of these tissue growths are benign and non-cancerous, however, they are known to cause nerves to become compressed as they take up space around the nerves. This can create severe pain and pressure when left untreated. Severe neuromas can also put you at risk of nerve damage.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome This syndrome occurs when the posterior tibial nerve is compressed, preventing normal circulation. The nerve that runs along the inside of the ankle to the foot can suffer from numbness and tingling because of this. Similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, tarsal tunnel syndrome can be uncomfortable and cause weakness in the foot and ankle because of the compressed nerve.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown Toenails While some ingrown toenails grow out and heal without any intervention, sometimes they don’t remedy themselves. When they are left untreated, they can create complications and lead to additional injuries to your toes.
Heel Spurs
Heel Spurs Heel spurs are caused by calcium deposits that build up underneath the heel bone. This doesn’t happen immediately and happens over several months due to a frequent irritant to a region of the body. The constant pressure on this region of the body, such as shoes that are too tight or another form of low-impact trauma, is what triggers the bone to grow a spur.
Ganglion Cysts
Ganglion Cysts While these mostly form in wrists, they can happen in the feet too. They are round or oval cysts filled with fluid and are non-cancerous. This issue happens around joints and tendons. When these cysts become numerous or problematic, they can be removed with surgery.
Hammertoes
Hammertoes When the middle joint of a toe begins to bend in an abnormal way, this is called a hammertoe. This can be due to shoes that are too tight or some other form of trauma that gradually causes the foot to become deformed.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis Plantar fasciitis can happen for several reasons and is usefully caused by foot trauma. For example, obesity, certain occupations, foot structure, types of physical activity, or pregnancy can be the cause. It is typically caused by trauma and makes the bottom of the heel or the arch of the foot ache.
Bunions
Bunions At the base of your big toe, a boney formation can appear that forces some of the bones of your toes to point outward. This foot deformity can be painful and corrected with surgery.
