Foot Deformity Correction and Reconstructive Surgery

At Orthopaedic Associates of Wisconsin, our foot and ankle specialists provide advanced care for a wide range of foot deformities through both non-surgical treatments and reconstructive foot surgery. Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, difficulty walking, or visible deformities, our team delivers personalized solutions to restore function, relieve discomfort, and improve your quality of life.

What Are Foot Deformities?

Foot deformities refer to structural issues in the bones, joints, or soft tissues of the foot that affect alignment, balance, and movement. These conditions may be present at birth, develop over time due to arthritis or injury, or result from wearing ill-fitting footwear.

Common foot deformities we treat include:

• Bunions (Hallux Valgus)

• Hammertoes

• Flatfoot (Fallen Arches)

• High Arches (Cavus Foot)

• Claw Toe

• Charcot Foot

• Post-traumatic deformities

• Congenital foot abnormalities

• Arthritic foot deformities

When Is Reconstructive Surgery Needed?

Reconstructive foot surgery is often recommended when conservative treatments—such as orthotics, bracing, physical therapy, or medications—fail to relieve symptoms or when the deformity causes progressive damage, instability, or limits daily activities. Surgical correction may involve:

• Realignment of bones and joints

• Fusion of damaged joints (arthrodesis)

• Tendon transfers or lengthening

• Bunion or hammertoe correction

• Midfoot or hindfoot reconstruction

• Treatment of Charcot neuroarthropathy

Benefits of Foot Reconstruction

• Improved foot alignment and function

• Relief from chronic pain and pressure points

• Enhanced mobility and stability

• Prevention of further deformity or joint damage

• Improved appearance and shoe fit

Your Recovery Journey

Recovery from foot reconstruction varies by procedure, but most patients can expect a period of limited weight-bearing followed by guided rehabilitation. Our physical and occupational therapy teams work closely with you to rebuild strength, improve gait, and promote healing every step of the way.
