Surgery for foot pain
The surgery for foot pain depends on the specific foot condition and the underlying cause. Sometimes, surgery is only performed to provide symptomatic relief. (4)
Foot fracture surgery
Although minor fractures in bone heal themselves, some complex fractures require attention and surgery for proper healing. The patient is sedated while conducting this surgery. During this surgery, a surgeon makes an incision near the fractured site and aligns the broken fragments of the bones as perfectly as he can. He then secures this aligned arrangement with the help of screws and nails. Some common side effects of foot fracture surgery include
- Swelling
- Redness
- Blood clots
