Reconstructive foot surgery is a type of treatment that helps our patients find relief from various types of pain. Patients may be experiencing foot pain from a recent trauma, accident, a congenital abnormality, arthritis, infection, or simply from wearing the wrong footwear that is too narrow for them. With reconstructive foot surgery, Dr. Harry Cotler is able to restore the stability and function in the foot, while relieving the pain and discomfort from these different conditions.
There are different types of reconstructive foot surgery procedures, which vary based on the problem our patient is experiencing. These procedures include a fusing a bone in the foot, removing a tumor, transferring tendon, implanting joints and others. Because of the advanced form of surgical procedures, reconstructive foot surgery procedures are only considered when other treatments have failed. Many of the conservative treatments we provide our patients will work, but other cases are more severe and need reconstructive foot surgery.
Here at Affiliated Ankle and Foot Care, we give our patients surgical options (such as joint surgery for patients with severe arthritis that is keeping them from walking properly) for improving the mobility and function of their feet when other procedures have not worked,.
