Common Types of Foot Surgery Performed by Podiatrists

Delaware Foot and Ankle Group is staffed by Dr. Ernest Troisi, Dr. Jason Kline, and Dr. Anthony Caristo, three doctors who can perform various types of foot surgery in Newark, DE. Our team of experts is more than capable of helping you through multiple types of treatments and will work hard to support you. Here are several treatments that you need to understand.

Bunion Surgery

As a fairly common foot-related problem, bunions can be very painful and may worsen and intensify to become nearly unbearable. Thankfully, our team can provide surgery to take care of your bunion by removing and realigning the soft tissue and bone in the joint. This process may include adding small screws or wires to hold the bones into place, but not always.


Heel Surgery

Anyone with plantar fasciitis knows that it can become very painful, particularly if it becomes heel spurs. With our help, you can manage this problem through conservative treatment. However, our team at Delaware Foot and Ankle Group can also provide surgeries to address the issue. We try to avoid surgical procedures when possible but don’t always have the option.

Hammertoe Surgery

Dr. Troisi, Dr. Kline, and Dr. Caristo can provide foot surgery for hammertoes in Newark, DE, to get you back on your feet. While steps like changing your shoes and using protective padding can help, long-term and untreated hammertoes need surgery. We’ll work on the affected joint and try to straighten it out or remove it if there’s no other way to correct its distortion.

Fusions

Are you heavily impacted by arthritic pain and aren’t sure what to do? Well, fusion surgeries can help by removing damaged or diseased cartilage and bone and carefully fusing healthy sections to strengthen the foot. Fusions can be done in many ways and in many parts of the foot, making it a powerful therapy for many serious issues.

Neuroma Surgery

Nerve surgery on the toes can help reduce enlargement or inflammation and improve your pain management. It typically involves removing any nerve that increases in size unexpectedly. Normally, it occurs between the heads of the metatarsal in the foot’s ball, though it may also develop in other areas. This step helps reduce your risk of infection or heavy pain.
