FOOT FUSION SURGERY
What is Foot Fusion Surgery?
Foot fusion surgery, also known as arthrodesis, is a surgical procedure performed to permanently join two or more bones in the foot. It is typically done to address severe arthritis, joint instability, or deformities that cause significant pain and limit mobility. During the surgery, the damaged joint surfaces are removed, and the bones are fixed together using screws, plates, or other fixation devices. The goal of foot fusion surgery is to provide pain relief, improve stability, and restore functionality to the foot.
Need for Foot Fusion Surgery
- Severe Arthritis: When conservative treatments fail to alleviate pain and improve joint function in cases of severe arthritis.
- Joint Instability: If significant instability in the foot due to ligament damage or other structural issues is present.
- Deformities: When foot deformities cause pain, difficulty walking, or interfere with footwear.
- Failed Conservative Treatments: If non-surgical treatments have not provided satisfactory improvement or the condition continues to progress.
Long-term impact of Foot Fusion Surgery
- Pain relief and improved comfort
- Restored stability to the foot
- Enhanced foot function and mobility
- Prevention of further joint damage or deformity progression
- Individual outcomes may vary based on factors such as the extent of the condition and post-operative care.
