Fractured Foot Treatment in India
About Fractured Foot
Key Highlights
-
Restores precise anatomical alignment of foot bones for optimal function.Provides immediate stability to the fracture site, promoting faster and more reliable healing.Reduces the risk of long-term complications such as post-traumatic arthritis, chronic pain, and deformity.Allows for earlier and more controlled rehabilitation compared to prolonged casting alone.Enables direct visualization and fixation of complex or intra-articular fractures.
Who is this surgery for?
- Displaced fractures where bone ends are not aligned.
- Unstable fractures that cannot be maintained in position with casting alone.
- Open fractures (bone breaks through the skin), which require urgent surgical cleaning and fixation.
- Intra-articular fractures (breaks extending into a joint surface).
- Comminuted fractures (bone shattered into multiple pieces).
- Fractures that have failed to heal with non-surgical treatment (non-union).
- Fractures causing nerve or blood vessel compromise.
How to prepare
- Complete medical evaluation, including blood tests and ECG, to assess fitness for anesthesia.
- Imaging studies like X-rays and often a CT scan to plan the surgical approach.
- Discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the doctor.
- Fasting for 6-8 hours before the scheduled surgery.
- Arranging for assistance at home and time off work for the initial recovery period.
- Discussion of anesthesia options (general, regional, or local) with the anesthesiologist.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection at the surgical site or in the bone (osteomyelitis).
- Bleeding, hematoma, or damage to surrounding nerves or blood vessels.
- Blood clots (Deep Vein Thrombosis - DVT).
- Anesthesia-related risks.
- Hardware irritation, failure, or need for future removal.
- Delayed healing, non-union (bone fails to heal), or malunion (bone heals in poor position).

Recovery & hospital stay

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....
Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
