About Foot Surgery

Foot surgery, performed by a podiatrist, is a specialized medical procedure aimed at correcting structural and functional issues of the foot and ankle. This can range from minimally invasive techniques to complex reconstructive operations. Common goals include relieving chronic pain, restoring mobility, correcting deformities like bunions or hammertoes, and treating injuries or degenerative conditions. Modern podiatric surgery often utilizes advanced technology for precision, leading to improved outcomes and faster recovery. It is a critical intervention for patients whose quality of life is significantly impacted by foot problems that have not responded to conservative treatments such as orthotics, physical therapy, or medication.

PATIENT REVIEW

Priya Chopra, a 42-year-old high school...

Priya Chopra, a 42-year-old high school teacher and avid runner, had been struggling with a persistent, sharp pain in her right big toe joint for over two years. The pain, diagnosed as severe hallux rigidus (arthritis), made standing for long periods in her classroom agonizing and forced her to give up running, a core part of her identity and stress relief. After exhausting conservative treatments like orthotics, anti-inflammatories, and steroid injections, her podiatrist, Dr. Evans, recommended a cheilectomy, a procedure to remove bone spurs and clean out the arthritic joint. Priya was terrified of surgery and the potential for a long recovery, fearing it would impact her ability to teach. The surgery itself was straightforward, performed under local anesthesia. The initial recovery involved two weeks of non-weight-bearing in a surgical shoe, which was challenging but manageable with help from her family. After six weeks of physical therapy, Priya gradually returned to walking and, eventually, low-impact exercise. While she may never return to marathon running, she is now pain-free, can stand all day teaching, and enjoys long walks. Emotionally, she moved from fear and a sense of loss over her active lifestyle to immense relief and gratitude for regaining her daily function and a modified, but joyful, connection to movement.
