Podiatric Surgery

Whenever possible, your podiatry surgeon will take a minimally invasive approach that uses small incisions. This means you’ll recover faster with less pain and scarring. Below are the more common procedures we perform.

• Ankle arthroscopy – Requires a tiny camera and only a small incision for doctors to treat a variety of ankle problems
• Ankle stabilization – Repairs torn ligaments after a sprain
• Bone spur surgery – Removes a bony, painful growth on the foot
• Bunionectomy – Removes a bony, painful bump on the big toe, and straightens out the big toe
• Clubfoot repair – Straightens a child’s foot
• Debridement – Takes out unhealthy tissue so a diabetic foot ulcer or another foot wound can heal
• Flatfoot reconstruction – Eases pain and helps your foot work better if its arches are too low
• Fracture repair – Puts a broken foot or ankle bone back in place so it can heal
• Hammer, claw, or mallet toe surgery – Makes a toe look right and feel better
• Ingrown toenail surgery – Takes out part of a toenail poking into the skin
• Neuroma excision – Removes a swollen nerve to relieve pain
• Plantar fasciotomy – Releases tissue to relieve plantar fasciitis
• Tendon repair – Puts a torn tendon back together
• Toe amputation – Removes a badly infected part of the toe
• Partial foot amputation - Removes a badly infected part of the foot
