Foot and Ankle Surgery in Reston, Manassas, and Leesburg, VA

Depending on the severity of your symptoms, cause of the injury, conservative treatments are usually the first course of action when dealing with foot and ankle problems like mild to moderate strains and joint issues like pain and inflammation. However, if a condition like a tear or a fracture is too severe, or your condition becomes chronic and stops responding to conservative treatments, surgery may be necessary to get you back on your feet so to speak.

When is Foot and Ankle Surgery Necessary?

Some of the most common causes for foot surgery include:

  • Joint damage/bunions
  • Bone spurs
  • Ligament or tendon ruptures/tears
  • Broken bones
  • Deformities or abnormalities
  • Nerve damage

Even if conservative treatments have worked for you in the past, surgery may be the best option to relieve ongoing symptoms like pain and mobility issues, or to prevent permanent damage to a joint or nerve tissue. The type of surgery and required recovery time and rehabilitation treatment typically depends on the condition and individual patient, and in some cases, you may still have to undergo physical therapy treatments in addition to surgery.
