Surgery is not always the best solution for injuries of the foot and ankle. Oftentimes, it is more beneficial to let your body heal on its own. Although the injuries listed below may not require surgical intervention, they still require medical assistance. Treatment usually involves medication, physical therapy, and restricting movement to assist your body in the healing process. Common foot and ankle injuries which do not often require surgical intervention include:

  • Achilles Tendinitis
  • Bunions
  • Calcaneus (Heel Bone) Fractures

Surgical Treatments for Foot and Ankle Conditions and Injuries

Our orthopedic surgeons in Wake County are experts in several approaches to repairing your foot and ankle. Some of the foot and ankle procedures we commonly perform for athletes and non-athletes alike include:

Tarsal Tunnel Surgery See Full Details

Similar to carpal tunnel syndrome, tarsal tunnel syndrome is a squeezing of the tibial nerve. In most cases, this does not require surgery. However, in cases that persist for long periods of time, surgery may be recommended to reduce pain and the chances of permanent damage to the foot. This surgery involves making a small incision to the ligament that covers the nerve, giving it more room to breathe and relieve pressure.

Ankle Sprain Surgery See Full Details

Ankle sprains are one of the most common orthopedic injuries and usually heal on their own. However, severe ankle sprains in which the tendon separates from the bone often require surgical intervention. The repair of the tendon can be accomplished in several ways – a conversation with your doctor will be necessary to determine the correct course of action for your individual situation.

Foot and Ankle Arthritis Surgery See Full Details

Severe foot and ankle arthritis may require surgery to reduce pain and increase your range of motion. The surgery involves removing as much excess tissue and bone spurs as possible to reduce or eliminate bone-on-bone contact. As this surgery can be performed multiple ways, consult with your doctor on the correct path for you.
