Podiatrist - Foot Surgeon

A podiatrist's surgical services may be needed to treat and perform surgery to alleviate severe foot pain cases. The foot bears all body weight and is more susceptible to stress, pain and deformity. Healthy feet allow you to participate in a variety of activities in comfort and ease, with a healthy lifestyle that suits your personality. However, ignoring or not paying attention to the foot can cause many foot problems, including bunions, toe pain or fungal toenail infections. Psychiatrists have researched and trained how to diagnose and develop methods for treating foot and leg diseases, diseases and injuries.

Some foot problems may not necessarily require surgery, such as calluses, corns on the feet, and even flat feet. However, for problems that cause severe pain and extreme discomfort in the patient, surgery may be the best solution recommended by the podiatrist. Some of the more common foot surgery procedures performed by podiatrists are for arthritis, ankle sprains and endogenous nails. The American Academy of Podiatric Medicine [APMA] reports that most women wear high-heeled, narrow-toed shoes and suffer from bunion pain; they undergo bunion surgery to treat this bone enlargement at the base of the big toe.

In addition, because of the biochemical complexity of the limbs and the underlying environment that causes the infection, foot surgeons often have surgery for foot infections because foot infections are difficult to treat. For example, fungal toenail infections are common and cause nail deformation, discoloration, softening, flaking and even loss of nails. When the fungus finds its way under the nail, the condition is difficult to treat, and when this happens, the foot surgeon may perform laser treatment. The progress of laser treatment of fungal toenail infections means that this is now an effective method and shows promising results. Usually, a new healthy nail begins to develop after several courses of treatment.

In the case of embedded toenails, patients often complain of toe pain, become more severe when wearing tights, and become more sensitive to any type of stress. In the worst case of embedded toenail, the podiatrist will use Vandenbos surgery to relieve the pain of the toenail without touching the affected nail. The procedure involves slitting about 5 mm from the methyl portion and then extending toward the side of the toe, stopping with an oval sweep under the nail tip, about 3 mm from the edge.

Most podiatrists receive additional training and regularly attend seminars and seminars to expand and update their understanding of the latest treatments and procedures in foot care. Some foot surgeries require cosmetic surgery, and some foot surgeons have also conducted research in this area, so this procedure can also be performed in the podiatry profession.

As technology advances, qualified podiatrists can successfully treat bunions, toe pain, and even fungal toenail infections. Still, self-awareness, health awareness and proper footwear are always the key to preventing serious and painful foot and toenails.
