What is Reconstructive Foot & Ankle Surgery?

Reconstructive foot & ankle surgery is a specialized procedure designed to restore function, correct deformities, and alleviate pain caused by injury, arthritis, congenital conditions, or structural abnormalities. These surgeries help patients regain mobility and improve their overall quality of life when conservative treatments are no longer effective.

Why is Reconstructive Surgery Needed?

Reconstructive surgery may be necessary for various conditions, including:

Severe Bunions & Hammertoes – To realign toes and relieve pain.
Flat Feet & High Arches – To restore proper foot structure and balance.
Foot & Ankle Trauma – Fracture repair or tendon reconstruction after injury.
Arthritis & Joint Deformities – To replace damaged joints or fuse bones for stability.
Diabetic Foot Conditions – To correct ulcers, deformities, or Charcot foot complications.

Types of Reconstructive Procedures

Depending on the severity of the condition, surgical options may include:

Tendon Repairs & Transfers – To restore movement and strength.
Joint Fusion (Arthrodesis) – To stabilize painful arthritic joints.
Osteotomy (Bone Realignment) – To correct bone positioning for better function.
Ligament & Cartilage Repair – To improve joint support and mobility.
Implants or Joint Replacement – To replace severely damaged joints.
