Signs & Symptoms
Some of the most important reasons to fix foot and joint deformities are:
- Walking problems because of a strange gait
- Being unable to walk or having trouble keeping your balance
- Foot pain or having trouble putting on shoes
- Pressure sores and thick, tough skin (callouses) and Ulcers
- Getting swelling in the bones in your foot and ankle
- Back pain, hip pain, and knee pain
Types of Deformity Correction
Flat foot reconstruction
Our first orthopaedic super speciality may recommend flat foot restoration surgery in cases where orthotics have failed to relieve foot arch pain and restore function.
Cavo-Varus foot
A raised arch that inward bends toward the heel is a hallmark of the “Cavo-Varus” foot form. This abnormality usually gets worse with time.
Varus- Valgus ankle deformity
Valgus and varus denote a rotation or bending in the coronal plane within a bone’s shaft or at a joint.
The diagnosis is made when the end part is excessively medial or lateral. It is called “valgus” when the end part is curved to the outer side. You have a varus joint when the distal part is tilted toward the inner side.
Congenital deformity of foot and ankle
Deformities of the foot and ankle are skeletal problems that happen when the bones in the foot and ankle are not lined up correctly. There are two possible causes of the deformity: congenital and acquired. That means that it was passed down from parent to child, was there from birth, or was caused by an injury,neurological problem, muscle imbalance, illness, etc. For example, Club Foot.
The Recovery phase?
Patients can move around with crutches while they go through the lengthening phase. The daily routine includes exercises that help keep the muscles and joints mobile and robust. The operation becomes much easier once the bone is stretched to its entire length. Over two to three months, patients gradually improve their weight bearing until they can walk normally without crutches.
Age affects the rate of bone healing, and children’s bones repair more quickly than adults. Still, we’ve worked with folks as late as their 60s to lengthen their limbs successfully.
