Foot Surgery Q & A

What does foot surgery treat?

If you need foot surgery, several things could be wrong with your foot. At Florida Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Center (FLOFAC), the highly trained team provides a variety of surgeries to handle foot complications. Some of the common ailments they treat include:

  • Ankle instability
  • Torn ligaments and tendons
  • Bone fractures
  • Loose cartilage or bone pieces
  • Traumatic injuries
  • Sports injuries
  • Deformity correction

Foot and ankle surgeries mend your ligaments, tendons, muscles, bones, and cartilage; can improve the function and mobility of your foot, and decrease foot pain.

What types of foot surgery are offered?

The renowned surgical team at FLOFAC performs multiple types of foot surgeries. Minimally invasive arthroscopy uses a tiny camera that displays the inner foot and ankle on a video screen, allowing the surgeon to mend your foot without having to make large and invasive incisions.

The FLOFAC team also performs complex surgeries and specializes in reconstructive surgery and foot trauma surgery. They offer deformity correction, which may entail multiple procedures to achieve the optimal outcome.

How do you know if you need foot surgery?

If you have severe foot pain that interferes with your daily functioning and hasn’t responded to more conservative measures, you may require foot surgery. During an initial consultation, your orthopedic foot and ankle doctor examines your foot and may request an X-ray, CT scan, or MRI to determine the extent of the damage.

Before deciding if surgery is the best option, your orthopedic foot surgeon may ask if you’ve tried less invasive procedures to find relief. They may want you to wear a brace or cast to immobilize the foot for a few weeks to see if that reduces pain. If not, they may suggest a regenerative medicine treatment like platelet-rich plasma therapy or stem cell injections.

When none of these work to relieve your pain or improve function, your doctor may recommend surgery.

When foot pain stops you from doing the activities you love, find a solution with the specialized team at FLOFAC. Call or go online today to schedule your appointment.
