What is Flat Feet Reconstruction?
Flat Foot reconstruction is surgery that is completed by podiatrist to correct deformity, correct the alignment of foot, and create arch and do away with or reduce any pain in the foot. Before going in advance with the reconstruction surgical treatment, the podiatrist may want to propose non-invasive treatments, together with cushioned arch helps, shoe inserts (orthotics), weight loss, or physical treatment. If none of those treatments work, surgical treatment would be recommended.
There are several styles of flat feet reconstructive surgical operation. One commonly done method is an Evans osteotomy. This way is completed by making an osteotomy (bone cut) through the heel and then sliding the rear foot inwards to create an arch.

Symptoms of Flat Feet Reconstruction
Flat feet are considered as fallen arches. If you examine the bottom of the foot there is mostly a natural curve at the interior between the heel and ft. The arch is worked by numerous ligaments and a tendon for your foot and reduced leg. When the ligaments fail to do the job, that's when the arch falls, and the condition known as flat foot takes place. Flat feet can arise for some reasons, along with
- A birth abnormality
- Ageing
- Arthritis
- Broken or dislocated bones
- Inflammation of the tendons
- Nerve conditions
- Tendons which might be stretched or torn
Obesity can contribute to the situation, as well as diabetes and ageing or being pregnant.
Many times, people have flat feet but experience no issues that require treatment. However, flat feet can cause a host of issues that do require treatment, along with
- Back and leg pain
- The toes tire quickly
- Feet that swell or become achy or itchy
