Foot and ankle surgeries address a wide variety of foot problems, including: • Sprains and fractures. • Arthritis and joint disease. • Benign and malignant tumors. • Birth deformities. • Bunions. • Calluses and warts. • Corns and hammertoes. • Flatfeet. • Heel or toe spurs. • Ingrown toenails. • Neuromas (nerve tumors). Many kinds of foot surgeries require you to have your foot immobilized after the procedures with such things as a bandage, splint, surgical shoe, cast, or open sandal. Most surgeons will encourage post-operative exercise of the foot and legs to speed recovery. After sufficient healing time, most patients can resume wearing their usual footwear.
