Foot Deformity Correction

Early treatment is crucial to achieve optimal results and prevent long-term complications. A qualified orthopedic surgeon can provide personalized advice and treatment options:

  • Foot is twisted inward, with the sole facing inward.
  • Heel is pulled up, and the Achilles tendon is tight.
  • Foot is stiff and rigid.
  • Difficulty walking or standing.
  • Pain or discomfort in the foot or ankle.


Treatments

  • Ponseti method: A non-surgical technique involving gentle manipulation and casting to gradually correct the deformity.
  • Bracing: Wearing a brace to maintain correction and prevent relapse.
  • Surgery: May be necessary in some cases to release tight tendons or correct bone deformities.

Surgical Treatment

  • Tendon release: Releasing tight tendons to improve flexibility.
  • Osteotomy: Cutting and realigning the bone to correct deformities.
  • Tendon transfer: Moving tendons to improve muscle balance.

Goals of Treatment

  • To correct the deformity and improve foot alignment.
  • To improve mobility and function.
  • To reduce pain and discomfort.
  • To enable normal walking and standing.
