About Ankle Corn Surgery

Ankle corn surgery, performed by an orthopedic surgeon, is a minor surgical procedure to remove painful, thickened skin lesions (corns) that develop on or around the ankle joint. These corns, often caused by chronic friction or pressure from footwear or underlying bone deformities, can cause significant discomfort, inflammation, and difficulty walking. The procedure typically involves the precise excision of the corn's hard central core and the surrounding thickened skin under local anesthesia. The surgeon may also address any underlying bony prominence to prevent recurrence. This outpatient surgery aims to provide immediate pain relief, restore normal skin texture, and improve mobility, allowing patients to return to their daily activities with greater comfort.

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.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 7-14 days

PATIENT REVIEW

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.
