What is foot Surgery:
Foot surgery is a specialized branch within the field of orthopedic and podiatric medicine that employs specialized instruments and surgical procedures to address and rectify issues related to damaged or diseased tissues within your feet or ankles. This type of surgery serves as a crucial means to alleviate pain, enhance your mobility, and ultimately enhance your overall quality of life

Who will Benefit:
If you're experiencing persistent foot or ankle pain that hampers your work or exercise routine, it may be time to explore the option of foot surgery at Equinox Foot and Ankle. This becomes particularly relevant if you've already attempted conservative treatments such as rest, ice, and elevation.
Following a thorough examination of your medical history, a detailed discussion of your symptoms, and a comprehensive X-ray assessment, our healthcare providers can offer personalized treatment recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
Examples of foot Surgery:

1. Minimal incision surgery is a minimally invasive technique utilized by our skilled providers to address various foot and ankle conditions. This approach involves small, carefully placed incisions, resulting in less tissue disruption and quicker recovery times. It is used for conditions such as bunions, hammertoes, and other issues, providing effective relief with minimal scarring and reduced post-operative discomfort

2. Bunionectomy A bunionectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at eliminating a bunion, which is a hard, bony bump located on the outer edge of your big toe. During this treatment, your healthcare provider employs specialized tools to realign the bones at the forefront of your foot, effectively alleviating pain and enhancing overall foot function

3. Achilles Tendon Repair Achilles tendon repair is performed to address a torn or ruptured Achilles tendon, which is a crucial band of tissue connecting your calf muscle to your heel bone. When you have a ruptured Achilles tendon, your surgeon meticulously stitches it back together. In cases of damage, the surgeon removes the weakened portion, preventing any further harm or complications.

4. Hammertoe Surgery Hammertoe surgery involves the use of specialized tools by your provider to release the tendon or ligament responsible for keeping your toe in a bent position. This procedure allows your toe to regain a natural, relaxed alignment, effectively alleviating associated pain and inflammation.

5. Ankle Replacement If you suffer from severe ankle arthritis, an ankle replacement may be a viable option. During this treatment, your healthcare provider removes the diseased or damaged joint and replaces it with a metal or plastic prosthesis. This prosthetic joint not only eliminates pain and swelling but also restores your full range of motion, enhancing your overall mobility and quality of life.
