From symptoms to a clear next step
Describe
Tell us where symptoms occur, when they began, and what makes them better or worse.
Evaluate
Surgical planning includes diagnosis, examination, weight-bearing imaging, medical history, circulation, skin health, goals, and a discussion of open versus minimally invasive options.
Plan
Review the diagnosis, reasonable options, expected recovery, and when follow-up is needed.
Possible treatment options
Treatment depends on the diagnosis, health history, severity, and personal goals. Options may include:
- A procedure selected for the specific deformity
- Anesthesia and incision planning
- Protected weight bearing and wound care
- Scheduled imaging and rehabilitation follow-up
After surgery, contact the surgical team urgently for uncontrolled pain, heavy bleeding, fever, worsening redness, chest pain, shortness of breath, or a cold/discolored toe.
