Podiatric Surgery
Podiatric surgery focuses on diagnosing and treating foot and ankle problems where symptoms persist despite conservative care. If pain or deformity is limiting normal walking, foot surgery may be considered alongside clear recovery guidance. Below are links to just some of the main conditions that I see and treat. Many other foot problems may be treated surgically.
Hammer Toe Surgery
A hammer toe is a common toe deformity that can cause pain, rubbing, corns and difficulty with footwear. When symptoms persist despite conservative care, hammer toe surgery may be considered to correct alignment and improve comfort.
Mortons Neuroma Surgery
Morton’s neuroma is a painful irritation of a nerve between the toes, often causing burning pain, tingling or numbness in the forefoot. When symptoms persist despite conservative treatment, Morton’s neuroma surgery may be considered.
Bunion Surgery
A bunion (hallux valgus) can cause a prominent bump, joint pain and difficulty with footwear. When symptoms persist despite conservative care, bunion surgery may be considered to correct alignment and improve comfort.
Big Toe Arthritis Surgery
Big toe arthritis can cause stiffness, swelling and pain during walking, often described as hallux rigidus or hallux limitus. When symptoms persist despite conservative care, big toe arthritis surgery may be considered to relieve pain and improve function.
Plantar Fasciitis Surgery
Plantar fasciitis can cause persistent heel pain, often worst with first steps or after activity. Many cases improve with conservative care, but when symptoms continue, plantar fasciitis surgery may be considered.
Flat Foot Surgery
Flat feet can cause arch pain, fatigue, and ankle discomfort, particularly if the foot is collapsing or becoming less stable over time. When symptoms persist despite conservative care, flat foot surgery may be considered.
Minor Surgery
Minor surgery includes targeted procedures for common nail and skin conditions, such as ingrown toenail removal and verruca treatment. When problems are recurrent or affecting footwear and daily comfort, a minor procedure can be an effective next step.
Verruca Removal
Verrucae (plantar warts) can be painful and stubborn, especially on weight-bearing areas of the foot. When conservative treatment is unsuccessful or symptoms persist, verruca removal may be considered.
Ingrown Toenail Removal
Ingrown toenails can cause swelling, tenderness and recurrent infection, often making footwear and walking uncomfortable. When symptoms persist or keep returning, ingrown toenail removal may be recommended.
Injection Therapy
Injection therapy, including steroid injections, may help selected foot conditions where pain and inflammation are limiting activity. Careful assessment is used to confirm diagnosis, suitability, and the most appropriate aftercare plan.
Steroid Injection for Foot Pain
Steroid injections can help selected foot conditions where pain and inflammation are limiting daily activity. If symptoms persist despite conservative care, a steroid injection for foot pain may be considered after assessment.
