Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to discomfort and restricting your daily activities. At Cherrywood Foot Care, our dedicated team of board-certified podiatrists understands the challenges arthritis can bring, especially when it affects your ability to walk comfortably.
Understanding Arthritis and Its Impact
Many individuals suffering from arthritis experience various symptoms that require a thorough evaluation for the best treatment options. One common form among diabetic patients is Charcot foot, which can lead to severe deformities and complications if not addressed promptly.
When Surgery Becomes Necessary
While some deformities can be managed with nonsurgical treatments, surgery may be essential in certain cases such as:
- Persistent deformities leading to increased pressure and ulcer risk.
- Instability that cannot be corrected with braces.
- Severe deformities causing non-healing ulcers despite therapy.
Our Surgical Solutions for Arthritis
We offer several surgical procedures tailored to treat arthritis effectively:
- Hindfoot and Ankle Realignment: Recommended for significant instability that impacts walking, this procedure involves placing internal fixations to stabilize the foot.
- Midfoot Realignment: This surgery addresses instability in the middle part of the foot, also using internal fixations to restore proper alignment.
- Ostectomy: This involves removing a portion of bone from the bottom of the foot, often necessary for wounds caused by pressure from bony prominences.
Our goal is to improve your quality of life by providing tailored surgical solutions that enhance mobility and reduce pain. We invite you to consult with our expert team for a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs.
