Your Podiatrist is the Right Choice for Foot Surgery

Sometimes, the best – or only! – option to address an issue related to foot and ankle health is foot and ankle surgery. When this happens, an expert foot doctor like Middlesex County podiatrist Dr. Jason Grossman and Dr. Paul A. Osemene is the best-qualified medical professional to help you.

Why Might I Need Foot and Ankle Surgery?

There are many reasons that a person might require surgery on their feet, ankles, or lower legs. These include, but are not limited to:

• Foot deformities such as bunions and hammertoes: When tendons shorten or bones move out of place, your podiatrist will likely take a non-invasive approach to treatment if at all possible. However, this is not always appropriate. Sometimes the only way to help is with specialized surgery.

•  Treatment for plantar fasciitis: When the soft tissue that spans the sole’s length becomes inflamed, pain results. Medication, physical therapy, and custom orthotics are common treatment modalities but, if they don’t relieve your heel pain, surgery may be the best course of action.

•  Resolution of foot and ankle injuries: Most often, treatment for injuries such as a broken bone in the foot or an ankle sprain can be immobilized with a cast or a boot and keeping weight off the injury. Sometimes, such injuries are severe, and surgery is required to set the bones or repair a torn tendon or ligament.
