Foot Surgery Q & A
When Foot Surgery Becomes Necessary?
While many foot and ankle issues can be managed without surgery, there are circumstances where surgical intervention becomes the best course of action. At Skylake Medical Associates, our team of experts will only recommend foot surgery when noninvasive treatments have proven ineffective in addressing your condition.
Various foot and ankle surgeries may involve repairing fractured bones, reconstructing torn ligaments, or correcting structural abnormalities impacting mobility. Additionally, foot surgery may be warranted for severe wounds, particularly in cases of infection.
Advanced Techniques in Reconstructive Foot and Ankle Surgery
Dr. Dmitry Sandler DPM specializes in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, employing advanced techniques to address a range of conditions, including:
Tendon Repair/Reconstruction
Surgery may be necessary to repair or reconstruct the Achilles tendon in cases of rupture or degradation.
Ligament Reconstruction
Severely damaged ligaments may require reconstruction using grafted tissue to restore stability.
Fusion
Fusion surgery is recommended for foot or ankle arthritis that no longer responds to conservative treatments, involving the stabilization of bones with plates, screws, and pins.
Correction of Structural Abnormalities
Dr. Dmitry Sandler DPM also performs surgeries to address conditions such as clubfoot, flatfoot, bunions, and hammertoe.
Foot Surgery for Wound Management
Diabetic ulcers are a common type of foot wound that may require surgical intervention. These ulcers, which can penetrate down to the bone, often resist healing and necessitate procedures like debridement to remove dead tissue. In severe cases, limb amputation may be necessary to prevent the spread of infection.
Dr. Dmitry Sandler is highly skilled in treating diabetic foot problems and wounds, utilizing cutting-edge techniques to promote healing and preserve limb function through limb salvage procedures.
