Surgery on the foot, ankle, or lower leg is usually performed by podiatric surgeons.
Foot and ankle surgeries address a wide variety of foot problems, including:
• Sprains and fractures.
• Arthritis and joint disease.
• Benign and malignant tumors.
• Birth deformities.
• Bunions.
• Calluses and warts.
• Corns and hammertoes.
• Flatfeet.
• Heel or toe spurs.
• Ingrown toenails.
• Neuromas (nerve tumors).
Many kinds of foot surgeries require you to have your foot immobilized after the procedures with such things as a bandage, splint, surgical shoe, cast, or open sandal. Most surgeons will encourage post-operative exercise of the foot and legs to speed recovery. After sufficient healing time, most patients can resume wearing their usual footwear.
