4. Bunion Surgery
 It is a way to correct puffiness on the side of the
big toe joint. This occurs because of the leaning
of the big toe into the second toe. The surgery
restores normality not only in the appearance of
the big toe but also in terms of its function.

5. Hindfoot Fusion
 This kind of surgery is considered to treat foot
abnormality like clubfoot or defects due to Spina
Bifida. Hindfoot surgery is primarily done to
relieve pain from arthritis.

6. Metatarsal Surgery
 It is done mainly to reorganize weight bearing on
the ball of the foot area. Besides, the surgery is
also done in severe cases including treating the
bones in the ball area of the foot or in case of
rheumatoid arthritis.

7. Heel Pain Surgery
 Depending on the severity of the heel pain, heel
surgery is done to relieve intractable heel pain
that does not respond to the conventional
measures.

8. Neuroma Surgery
 It involves the eradication of a small enlargement
of a nerve in between the metatarsal heads in the
ball area of the foot. The surgery of this tender
tissue leaves enduring numbness because of the
removal of the nerve tissue.

9. Arthroscopic Surgery
 Arthroscope is a surgical instrument. It is a
flexible tube that contains a video camera and a
light to diagnose various types of foot and ankle
conditions.

10. Hammer Toe Surgery
 It is a surgery to remove a segment of the toe
bone to realign the toe. In few cases, it may also
be done for fusing the toe joint or placing an
implant in the toe to retain its realignment.

11. Tendon Surgery
 Tendon procedure is mostly used for painful flat
feet or foot drop following spinal damage
especially when a muscle gets paralysed
because of the damage in the nerve. It involves
the transfer of a healthy tendon to replace the
function of an injured and inactive tendon.

12. Fusions
 It is usually recommended to treat arthritic
conditions of the foot and ankle. The procedure
involves joining two or more bones together after
removing all cartilage from a joint so that they
remain intact and do not move from their position.

13. Foot Amputation Surgery
 The surgeon removes the entire foot. There could
be several reasons including poor blood flow,
peripheral vascular disease, tumor, infection that
does not heal, severe burn or trauma caused by
accident.

14. Taking Care Post Surgery
 Most importantly, complications in foot surgery
are rare. However, you need to be careful about
the postoperative care that follows taking rest,
wearing surgical shoes, bandages, using
crutches or canes to ensure a fast and safe
recovery post the foot surgery.

15. The Foot Clinics in London
 The majority of the clinics associated with foot
surgery in London take a detail clinical
assessment that involves methodical analysis.
Before any surgical procedure, one has to
undergo specific tests and examinations for a
successful surgical outcome. But if you wish to
know how long a surgery lasts, you may not get a
defined answer. It usually depends on the type of
injury and conditions of your foot.
