When is Foot Surgery Needed?

Certain types of foot pain can really impact your life and cause you irritation and might make you miss your favorite activities. If you’ve tried conservative methods of treating a foot problem and it doesn’t seem to give you the relief that you’re looking for, it may be time to consider surgery to correct your issues. Dr. Barry Finkelstein at NYNJ Foot and Ankle Associates in Bronx, NY, can explain when foot surgery may be necessary for you.

When is Foot Surgery Needed?

There are many issues that could need to be corrected by foot surgery from your podiatrist in Bronx, NY. Surgery is usually the last option that is used when conservative methods just don’t seem to work. If you find that you’re in extreme pain, it’s hard to walk, and you’re not able to participate in your daily activities, you may need to consider foot surgery.

Some common conditions that may need surgery include:

  • Bunions
  • Hammertoes
  • Morton’s neuroma
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Arthritis of the ankle
  • Achilles tendonitis

Often, most forms of foot surgery are quick and should be done in about an hour. You’ll also be able to go home the same day. It’s important that you follow your doctor’s instructions after surgery so that you can ensure proper recovery and increase the surgery’s effectiveness. Recovery time will depend on what the surgery was for and how severe your issue was.

You might find that your pain is significantly reduced after surgery, and you finally feel comfortable on your feet again.
