Foot surgery » Minimally invasive treatments

Foot surgery includes all surgical measures that encompass the complex construct of the feet, and in some cases passes smoothly into the area of the ankle joint. The healthy foot has 26 bones and 33 joints, which are necessary for the fine motor function of the foot and the basic movement of the foot. The foot is divided into forefoot, hindfoot, midfoot and heel. The dorsum and sole of the foot complete the complex. More than 100 ligaments and tendons hold them together and allow for a variety of movements and stabilizations, making every single step possible and supporting the weight of the body day after day – and much more beyond that.

Injuries and diseases can disrupt this delicate balance, leading to discomfort and pain that affects mobility. Although the body has strong self-healing powers, without optimal treatment by means of orthopedics and foot surgery, a high risk can arise in the sensitive complex of the foot, resulting in secondary diseases and chronic complaints. That’s when the specialized knowledge of accomplished orthopedic surgeons and foot surgeons is needed to bring back foot health and maintain or restore unimpeded mobility. Careful anamnesis and state-of-the-art diagnostics with imaging techniques are therefore important to determine the specific cause of the complaints. At the Orthopaedic Center Munich East (OZMO), this includes, among other things.

Ultrasound,

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

To use, which takes place directly in our well-equipped practice rooms. Diagnostics as well as professional consultation, treatment planning and its implementation take place for our patients directly at the OZMO on site. There is no need for costly visits to colleagues and other orthopedic specialty centers. If necessary, we can also collaborate with the Dr. Lubos Clinic in Bogenhausen, where two of our orthopedic specialists hold chief resident positions, and where we can perform foot surgery procedures if necessary.

Multiple aspects can cause the need for treatment with foot orthopedics and foot surgery as injuries and diseases. Starting with congenital or acquired foot and toe deformities, for example a hallux valgus or a hallux rigidus, but also tendon injuries such as an inflammation or a tendon rupture at the Achilles tendon or the fracture (medically “rupture”) of single or several bones require surgical interventions to correct and promote healing. In this way, slipped bones can be straightened, malpositions corrected and cartilage damage mitigated. Serious inflammation or necrotic tissue due to previous defects and diseases are safely and reliably removed with foot surgery.

In addition, injuries caused by sports and other accidents or diseases with signs of wear and tear on the ankles and toe joints can lead to serious complaints. Also in these cases, orthopedics on the foot offers the appropriate support with manual therapies, injection therapies and other measures. If surgery is necessary, foot surgery is the right specialist treatment to restore the function of the foot in minimally invasive surgery or conservative surgery and to promote the processes in the healing process in the best possible way.
