Who is this surgery for?
- Persistent, painful corn on the ankle that does not respond to conservative treatments like padding, medicated patches, or footwear changes.
- Corns causing recurrent inflammation, infection (paronychia), or ulceration.
- Underlying bony deformity (exostosis or spur) that is the primary source of pressure and corn formation.
- Significant interference with daily activities, walking, or exercise due to pain.
- Cosmetic concern or recurrent bleeding from the corn site.
How to prepare
- Consultation with an orthopedic surgeon for a thorough examination and diagnosis.
- Disclosure of all current medications, especially blood thinners, which may need to be paused.
- Discussion of medical history, including diabetes or circulatory problems, which require special management.
- Pre-operative tests (if advised) to ensure fitness for local anesthesia.
- Arranging for transportation home after the procedure, as driving may not be advisable.
- Fasting may not be required for a simple local anesthetic procedure, but follow specific surgeon instructions.
Risks & possible complications
- Common risks include temporary pain, swelling, and bruising at the surgical site.
- Risk of infection, though minimal with proper sterile technique and post-op care.
- Scar formation, which is usually minimal but can be tender or raised in some individuals.
- Recurrence of the corn if the underlying pressure point is not fully addressed.
- Rare risks include nerve damage leading to numbness or tingling, or an allergic reaction to the local anesthetic.
- Delayed wound healing, particularly in patients with diabetes or poor circulation.
Recovery & hospital stay
- The ankle will be bandaged after surgery. Keep the dressing clean, dry, and intact as per instructions.
- Limit weight-bearing on the operated foot for the first 24-48 hours; use crutches if advised.
- Elevate the foot above heart level when resting to minimize swelling.
- Manage pain with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers as recommended.
- Avoid submerging the wound in water (e.g., baths, swimming) until fully healed.
- Attend follow-up appointments for dressing changes and stitch removal (if non-dissolvable).
- Gradually return to normal activities and footwear as comfort allows, often within a week.

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.
