What is Flatfoot Correction Surgery?

Flatfoot, or fallen arches, is a condition where the arch of the foot collapses, causing the entire sole to touch the ground. While many people with flatfoot have no symptoms, others may experience chronic pain, difficulty walking, or progressive deformity. Flatfoot correction surgery is performed when conservative treatments fail, aiming to restore the arch, relieve pain, and improve mobility.

Ignoring persistent foot pain or deformity can lead to worsening symptoms and long-term mobility issues. Early evaluation and treatment are essential for the best outcomes.

Understanding Flatfoot and Its Impact

Flatfoot can be flexible (arch visible when not standing) or rigid (arch always absent). It may develop in childhood or later in life due to injury, obesity, or other conditions. Early diagnosis and intervention can prevent further deformity and improve quality of life.

Most Commonly Affects

Children with congenital flatfoot
Adults with acquired flatfoot deformity
Athletes or active individuals with recurrent foot pain

⚠️ If you have persistent foot pain, swelling, or difficulty walking, consult a specialist for a thorough evaluation.

Key Symptoms

Persistent foot or heel pain
Swelling along the inside of the ankle
