Treatments
Ankle arthroscopyIt is a medical technique that examines or repairs the tissues inside or around your ankle with the help of a tiny camera and surgical equipment. An arthroscope is the name for the camera. The treatment allows your doctor to diagnose problems with your ankle and make repairs without having to make deeper cuts in the skin and tissue. This means you may experience less pain and recover faster than if you had open surgery.
It can be treated either anatomically, in which the stretched or torn ligaments are mended and allowed to heal in a shorter position, or surgically, in which the ligament is completely replaced with another piece of tendon from the patient’s ankle.
It may entail removing the swollen section of the bone, cutting and realigning the bone, and adjusting the tendons and ligaments’ position. The big toe joint, sometimes known as the bunion, is arthritic. It may be necessary to fuse the joint if it is damaged beyond repair, as is common with arthritis.
Proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint fusion is the most common surgical surgery for hammertoes. By permanently fusing the two bones together, the toe is straightened and stabilised. Cutting the ends of the bones in the joint and putting them together is the typical method.
Very rarely in patients who are not benefiited by conservative modality requires surgical intervention for Plantar fasciitis. Surgery performed for plantar fasciitis is an Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy (EPF). On either side of the heel, a tiny incision (approximately one centimetre) is made.An EPF is used to loosen up a tight or constricted plantar fascia.
