Reconstructive surgery is an advanced procedure to correct or repair the structures in your foot and restore function that was lost due to an injury or podiatric condition. In addition to allowing you to walk without pain, reconstructive surgery restores stability in your foot and ankle, corrects balance and gait problems, and in some cases, improves the appearance of your foot.
The team at MB Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Specialists initially treats most foot conditions with nonsurgical therapies. However, advanced conditions may not improve enough with conservative care.
Additionally, repetitive movement and intense pressure aggravate foot problems, pushing them to a stage where the only option is surgical reconstruction.
