Types of Podiatric Surgery
Bunion Correction
This advanced technique corrects the root cause of bunions by realigning the metatarsal bone, providing long-term relief and stability.
Tendon & Ligament Repair
Ruptured or severely damaged tendons and ligaments can be repaired using minimally invasive techniques or grafting procedures for optimal recovery.
Lifestyle and Occupation
Jobs that require prolonged standing or walking on hard surfaces, such as teaching, retail, or construction, can contribute to the condition.
Fracture Repair
For severe fractures, surgical intervention may be necessary to properly align and stabilize the bones using plates, screws, or pins.
Foot Reconstruction
For individuals with significant structural deformities, reconstruction surgery realigns bones and soft tissues to restore function and reduce pain.
