Foot problems are prevalent in all age groups because of the stress and trauma we subject our foot to everyday. Most foot injuries and conditions can be managed with nonsurgical treatment. Orthotics and other inserts into the shoe will often help a painful foot.

Common tendon and ligament sprains will require temporary brace treatment and physical therapy. Surgical treatment may be required for many arthritic conditions and deformities of the foot. Bunions and hammer toes often need surgical correction. These surgeries require bone cutting and fixation often and a period of limited weight bearing will be necessary. Achilles tendon tears and other tendon ruptures about the foot are seen in many athletic individuals and require surgical repair as well.

There are chronic tendon problems and tears that occur in the posterior tibial and peroneal tendons that can initially be managed with a brace and physical therapy. However, the tendon will sometimes not heal and need repair.

Occasionally a severe arthritis of the ankle or foot will need a surgery to fuse the joint. This is also known as an arthrodesis. This is an operation that eliminates the motion at a joint by fixing the joint with screws so that pain is relieved.
