Forefoot surgery is a procedure performed to address various conditions affecting the front part of the foot, such as bunions, hammertoes, neuromas, and fractures. It aims to alleviate pain, correct deformities, and restore normal foot function.
Podiatrists often perform these surgeries when conservative treatments like orthotics, physical therapy, or medication fail to provide relief. The surgery can involve bone realignment, tendon repairs, or removal of problematic tissues. Recovery typically involves a period of immobilization and rehabilitation to ensure proper healing and return to activity.
If you believe you could benefit from forefoot surgery, we recommend that you speak with a podiatrist as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and suggested plan for treatment.
