Basic Insight into Metatarsal Surgery
Metatarsal surgery is a procedure performed to correct deformities, fractures, or other problems in the long bones of the foot known as metatarsals. It helps relieve pain, restore proper alignment, and improve walking function. This surgery is commonly done when conservative treatments such as medication or orthotic support fail to provide relief.
Surgical Approach and Technique of Metatarsal Surgery
During metatarsal surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision over the affected bone to access and realign it properly. Depending on the condition, bone fragments may be fixed using plates, screws, or wires to stabilize the area. The surgery often involves removing bone spurs, correcting deformities like bunions, or fixing fractures. Advanced imaging and precision instruments are used to ensure accurate alignment and bone healing. Recovery may involve the use of protective footwear and gradual weight-bearing as healing progresses. This approach restores foot stability, reduces discomfort, and helps patients regain mobility efficiently.
