Reconstructive Surgery of the Foot & Ankle
Reconstructive surgery of the foot and ankle consists of complex surgical repair(s) that may be necessary to regain function or stability, reduce pain, and/or prevent further deformity or disease. Unfortunately, there are many conditions or diseases that range from trauma to congenital defects that necessitate surgery.
Reconstructive surgery in many of these cases may require any of the following: Tendon repair/transfer, fusion of bone, joint implantation, bone grafting, skin or soft tissue repair, tumor excision, amputation and/or the osteotomy of bone (cutting of bones is a precise fashion). Bone screws, pins, wires, staples and other fixative devices (both internal and external), and casts may be utilized to stabilize and repair bone in reconstructive procedures.
