Disorders of the foot and ankle develop from a wide range of causes, many of which can be treated with reconstructive foot surgery. Reconstructive surgery can help repair birth defects, diseases, injuries and other foot problems that can benefit patients’ medical and aesthetic needs. When more conservative treatment methods fail or are not an option, reconstructive surgery is often effective in permanently treating many foot disorders.

Reconstructive foot surgery can be used to treat conditions such as:

• Trauma
• Vascular diseases
• Metabolic diseases
• Tumors
• Lesions
• Infections
• Genetic disorders
• Arthritic diseases

The surgery performed depends on the type and severity of the condition, but can restore function and stability to the foot, as well as relieve pain and restore proper appearance.

Reconstructive surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis with minimally invasive techniques, while complex conditions may still require a traditional open procedure. Recovery time depends on the type of condition being treated, and may also be accompanied by physical therapy and immobilization with a cast or brace.
