Podiatrist Dayton OH - Foot and Ankle Surgery

Surgery on the foot, ankle, or lower leg is usually performed by podiatric surgeons and orthopedic surgeons specializing in the foot and ankle.

Foot and ankle surgeries address a wide variety of foot problems, including:

Sprains and fractures.
Arthritis and joint disease.
Benign and malignant tumors.
Birth deformities.
Bunions.
Calluses and warts.
Corns and hammertoes.
Flatfeet.
Heel or toe spurs.
Neuromas (nerve tumors).
Many foot and ankle surgeries today can be performed in the doctor's office or a surgical center on an outpatient basis. They frequently can be performed using local anesthesia, in some cases combined with sedation. Most foot surgeries require a period of immobilization after the procedures with protective devices, such as a bandages, splints, surgical shoes, casts, or open sandals. Limited weight bearing, elevating and icing the foot, and keeping the area dry are commonly required for the first two weeks following surgery until sutures are removed. Most surgeons will encourage post-operative exercise of the foot and legs to speed recovery. In addition, many patients need additional therapy or treatments after surgery in order to aid in the healing and recovery process. These may include physiotherapy, orthotic devices, and special footwear. After sufficient healing time, which varies from procedure to procedure, most patients can resume wearing their usual footwear.

I had my bunion and "dedo martillo" operated on (ten moths, ago) here in Santiago/ Chile. It seems the pain has gotten worse since. The surgeon told me that it will takes more than a year to overcome the readjustment pains. I am a female of 50kg and 1.58m. Is there something I can do or hope for? Thank you for the good advice.
