Surgical Procedures

Foot and ankle surgery.

Board-certified foot and ankle surgical procedures performed at Foot Health Centers — from minimally invasive bunion correction to complex Charcot reconstruction.

Tendon

Achilles Tendon Repair

Achilles tendon repair restores the function of a torn or severely degenerated Achilles tendon. We perform open and minimally invasive repairs based on the injury pattern.

FHL Tendon Transfer (Achilles Augmentation)

The flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon is transferred to augment a chronically torn or degenerated Achilles tendon. It restores plantarflexion strength when primary repair is not enough.

Haglund's Resection

Haglund's resection removes the prominent bone at the back of the heel and debrides the diseased portion of the Achilles tendon insertion.

Posterior Tibial Tendon Repair

Posterior tibial tendon repair restores the arch-supporting tendon damaged by PTTD or rupture. Often combined with a tendon transfer and bony realignment for the best outcome.

FDL Tendon Transfer with Calcaneal Osteotomy

The standard reconstruction for flexible adult acquired flatfoot — the flexor digitorum longus (FDL) tendon is transferred to replace the failed posterior tibial tendon, and the heel bone is realigned with a calcaneal osteotomy.

Peroneal Tendon Repair

Peroneal tendon repair addresses tears, longitudinal splits, and recurrent subluxation of the tendons behind the outer ankle.

Forefoot

Lapidus Bunionectomy

The Lapidus procedure corrects bunions at their root cause — instability at the joint between the first metatarsal and the medial cuneiform. It is preferred for moderate-to-severe bunions and recurrent deformities.

Scarf & Akin Bunionectomy

The Scarf osteotomy is a versatile bunion correction that shifts the first metatarsal back into alignment, often combined with an Akin osteotomy of the great toe for fine-tuning.

Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery (MIS)

Minimally invasive bunion surgery corrects the deformity through small incisions, reducing scarring and post-op swelling. We select patients carefully based on deformity severity and bone quality.

Bunionette (Tailor's Bunion) Correction

Bunionette correction realigns the fifth metatarsal to remove the painful bony prominence on the outside of the foot.

Hammertoe Correction

Hammertoe correction straightens rigid, painful toes and removes painful corns. Combined with tendon balancing when needed.

Morton's Neuroma Excision

Morton's neuroma excision removes the irritated nerve segment that causes burning pain and numbness in the ball of the foot.

Cheilectomy (Big Toe Joint Cleanup)

Cheilectomy removes the bone spur on top of the big toe joint, relieving impingement and restoring upward motion. Best for early-to-moderate hallux rigidus.

First MTP Joint Fusion

First MTP fusion is the gold-standard surgery for advanced big toe arthritis. It eliminates joint pain reliably and allows most patients to walk and exercise comfortably.

Cartiva Implant (Big Toe)

The Cartiva implant is a synthetic cartilage device for moderate-stage big toe arthritis. It preserves motion as an alternative to fusion in select patients.

Midfoot & Hindfoot

Subtalar Arthroereisis

Subtalar arthroereisis places a small implant in the sinus tarsi to block excessive flattening of the foot — useful for flexible flatfoot in select patients.

Dwyer Calcaneal Osteotomy (Cavus Correction)

A lateralizing calcaneal osteotomy realigns the heel to correct cavus foot deformity, often combined with tendon transfers and forefoot procedures.

Triple Arthrodesis

Triple arthrodesis fuses three joints of the back of the foot (subtalar, talonavicular, calcaneocuboid) to correct rigid deformity and end-stage arthritis.

Charcot Foot Reconstruction

Charcot reconstruction realigns and stabilizes a collapsed diabetic foot, allowing braceable shoe wear and preventing ulcers and amputation.

Ankle

Brostrom Lateral Ankle Ligament Repair

The Brostrom procedure repairs the torn or stretched lateral ankle ligaments to restore stability after recurrent sprains.

Ankle ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation)

Open reduction internal fixation realigns and stabilizes displaced ankle fractures with plates and screws.

Ankle Arthroscopy

Ankle arthroscopy uses a tiny camera and instruments through small portals to treat impingement, cartilage lesions, and synovitis with minimal scarring.

Ankle Fusion (Arthrodesis)

Ankle fusion eliminates motion at the arthritic ankle joint, providing reliable, durable pain relief. The foot retains motion through adjacent joints.

Total Ankle Replacement

Total ankle replacement preserves ankle motion in patients with end-stage arthritis. Modern implants offer durable results in carefully selected patients.

Heel & Nerve

Plantar Fascia Release

Plantar fascia release surgically releases a portion of the inflamed fascia for chronic heel pain unresponsive to conservative care.

Heel Spur Surgery

Heel spur surgery removes the bony spur on the bottom of the heel when it contributes to chronic, unresponsive heel pain.

Tarsal Tunnel Release

Tarsal tunnel release decompresses the tibial nerve behind the inner ankle, relieving burning, tingling, and numbness in the foot.

Trauma & Other

Lisfranc ORIF / Fusion

Lisfranc surgery restores midfoot alignment after a Lisfranc injury. Options include ORIF for fractures and primary fusion for purely ligamentous injuries.

Jones Fracture Screw Fixation

Screw fixation of a Jones fracture provides reliable healing and a quicker return to activity than casting alone — preferred for athletes and active patients.
