Surgery, especially foot surgery, can usually leave us off our feet for an extended time. When you turn to SOFLLEX, you will see experienced and skilled doctors who provide minimally invasive surgery. You’ll experience less pain and can recover much faster.
Reasons Why You Might Need Foot Surgery
While minimally invasive surgeries take less of a toll on your body, it’s still surgery. So, before we decide on this type of treatment, we will always first look at potential nonsurgical options. If we ultimately decide surgery is the next step for you, here are some conditions and injuries it can correct.
- Bunions
- Hammertoes
- Big Toe Arthritis
- Plantar Fasciitis
Types of Foot Surgeries
Many minimally invasive procedures can be performed to decrease pain and return proper function to the foot. Some of these include:
Plantar Fasciotomy
This procedure corrects plantar fasciitis, which causes pain around the heel due to tissue inflammation.
Arthroplasty
Used to correct a hammertoe, arthroplasty involves the doctor removing a piece of the bone, allowing your toe to straighten.
Bunionectomy
After attempting nonsurgical treatments, we may try a bunionectomy to correct your painful bunion, increasing mobility and decreasing deformity.
