Foot Fracture Surgery
Advanced Care to Restore Mobility and Relieve Pain
What is Foot Fracture Surgery?
Foot fracture surgery is a specialized procedure to stabilize and repair broken bones in the foot. When conservative treatments like casting or immobilization aren’t enough, surgery ensures proper alignment and healing, reducing the risk of long-term complications. With the right care, you can regain strength, stability, and confidence in your mobility.
When is Foot Fracture Surgery Needed?
Foot fracture surgery is typically recommended for:
- Complex or displaced fractures where the bones are misaligned.
- Fractures involving multiple bones or joints.
- Non-healing fractures that persist despite conservative treatment.
- Fractures that cause instability or significant pain during weight-bearing.
Our team will carefully evaluate your condition and recommend the best course of action to support your recovery.
What to Expect During Surgery
At Preferred Foot & Ankle Specialists, we use advanced surgical techniques to treat foot fractures effectively. The process may include:
- Realigning the Bones: Ensuring proper positioning to restore natural foot structure.
- Fixation with Hardware: Using plates, screws, or pins to stabilize the fracture and promote healing.
- Soft Tissue Repair: Addressing any damage to surrounding ligaments or tendons, if necessary.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and our team prioritizes minimizing discomfort and recovery time.
Recovery After Foot Fracture Surgery
Recovery from foot fracture surgery varies based on the severity of the injury, but a typical timeline includes:
- Immobilization: Wearing a cast, boot, or splint to protect the foot during initial healing.
- Physical Therapy: Restoring strength, flexibility, and range of motion as healing progresses.
- Gradual Weight-Bearing: Slowly resuming normal activities under your doctor’s guidance.
Our team will provide a personalized recovery plan, ensuring you heal properly and regain full mobility.
Benefits of Foot Fracture Surgery
Foot fracture surgery offers several key benefits, including:
- Proper alignment of broken bones to ensure correct healing.
- Faster recovery and reduced risk of long-term complications.
- Improved foot function and mobility.
- Relief from pain caused by unstable or improperly healed fractures.
With expert care, you can recover fully and get back to the activities you love.
