Foot surgery
Surgical correction of deformities and conditions of the foot: hallux valgus (bunion), claw toes, Morton's neuroma, heel spur.
What is it?

When is it indicated?
The big toe deviates toward the others and a "bunion" protrudes and rubs in the shoe. Surgery realigns the toe to restore comfortable footwear.
The toes curl up and rub against the shoe, causing pain and calluses. A simple surgical procedure restores their natural position.
A small irritated nerve between the toes causes electric-shock sensations or burning when walking. The operation eliminates this irritation when insoles and injections are no longer sufficient.
Poorly distributed pressure under the front of the foot causes pain as if walking on pebbles. Surgery rebalances these pressure points.
Wear of the big toe joint makes it stiff and painful with every step. The operation relieves the pain and makes the rolling motion of the step easier.
When persistent heel pain resists insoles, rehabilitation and medical treatments, a targeted surgical procedure may be proposed.
Preparation
Procedure
Regional anesthesia of the ankle and foot in most cases
Correction of the deformity using a percutaneous or minimally invasive technique
Intra-operative radiological check of the correction
Specific dressing that helps maintain the correction
Walking resumed the same day with the post-operative shoe
Return home within the day in most cases
Duration
30 minutes to 1 hour
Aftercare & Recovery
Weight-bearing is allowed immediately with a suitable shoe, worn for a few weeks. The swelling of the foot gradually decreases and normal footwear is resumed over the following weeks. Correction of the deformity brings lasting comfort when walking.
Risks and side effects
These risks remain rare. Your surgeon will inform you in detail before the procedure.
