If you have a foot or ankle problem that hasn’t improved with other, more conservative treatments, your next step may be surgery. Surgical procedures are available for a wide range of foot conditions. Here’s a rundown of some of the most common types.

​

​

  • Bunion Surgery

  • Fusion Surgery

  • Hammertoe Surgery

  • Heel Surgery

  • Metatarsal Surgery

  • Neuroma Surgery

  • Tendon Surgery

  • Ankle Surgery

​

Most foot surgery is elective, and can take place at the podiatrist’s office, in a hospital or at an ambulatory surgery center.

Your doctor will help you decide the best option for you based on factors such as the type of procedure being preformed, your age, medical history and insurance coverage.

 

Foot surgery usually requires commitment by the patient. There are several blood and urine tests, x-rays and other diagnostic testing that must take place before the surgery.

​

Once the surgery is preformed, the patient is then required to follow the doctor’s strict healing instructions so the foot or feet can heal normally, or without complications
