Foot Surgery
For locomotion, the forefoot, i.e., the balls of the feet and toes, is extremely important. Deformities of toes, a flat or splay foot and pressure areas can tremendously disrupt the unrolling motion and significantly impede daily activities.

New surgical treatments
When conservative therapeutic methods, such as orthopedic shoes, inserts or splints worn at night while the patient sleeps, do not result (anymore) in any lasting improvements, then frequently only an operation can help. New approaches and improvements in surgical treatments make it possible nowadays in most cases to correct the muscle imbalance in the skeleton of the foot without sacrificing a joint. At the same time, new surgical techniques guarantee that the foot can carry the person’s entire weight a few days after the operation – as a rule, a lengthy rehabilitation is no longer necessary.
Modern Foot Surgery – A small operation with a huge effect
An important decisive factor for the success of the treatment is when the surgery to correct the foot is performed: the earlier the operation is performed, the greater the chances are to completely restore the foot’s functional capabilities and eliminate any and all discomfort. An operation performed at an early date can effectively prevent irreparable late aftereffects, e.g., the development of rheumatoid arthritis in the great toe joint.
Our experienced specialists provide comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic health care. If a corrective foot operation is necessary, our top priority is to use proven methods that guarantee an optimal treatment result and minimal restriction of movement and activities after the operation.
Decisions regarding if and when an operation makes sense and which surgical method is the best in each individual case are made only after a precise examination. Therefore, we insist on taking an exhaustive anamnesis and preparing an exact diagnosis.
