Foot and Ankle Surgery

Foot and ankle injuries can affect your quality of life, limiting your movement and restricting your mobility. One of the most complex parts of the body, the foot consists of 26 bones and numerous joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. All of these parts are easily susceptible to pain, inflammation and injury. 

 

Often caused by improper foot function, foot and ankle pain can be debilitating to an active lifestyle. Common foot problems include:

We strive to give you your life back through foot and ankle surgery. At Mercy of Sacramento, foot surgery includes: corn surgery, Achilles tendon surgery, heel spur surgery, and bunion and hammertoe removal. Ankle surgeries include ankle fusion surgery, ankle replacement and surgery for severe ankle sprains.

 

Foot Surgery  Achilles tendon injuries are common among runners and those who lead an active lifestyle. In the case of a ruptured or torn Achilles tendon, a Mercy of Sacramento Achilles tendon surgery may be the solution. During this procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in the back of the foot, and stitch the torn ligament back together, easing the patient's pain.

 

For patients suffering from heel spurs, bunions, corns or hammertoes, removal surgery is a solid option for pain relief.

 

Ankle Surgery  For patients with ankle pain, ankle fusion surgery may be the answer. During ankle fusion surgery, Sacramento Mercy surgeons will fuse the ankle bones together, easing ankle aches caused by misalignment, osteoarthritis or other underlying conditions.

 

At Mercy of Sacramento, ankle replacement is also offered for patients suffering from ankle pains. During this procedure, the surgeon will replace the existing ankle bone with an implant and fuse the surrounding bones together using a bone graft.
