Foot & Ankle Deformity Treatment in Karachi
Foot & Ankle Deformity Treatment in Karachi
Foot and ankle deformities are conditions in which the normal shape, alignment, or function of the foot or ankle is altered. These problems may be present at birth or may develop later due to injury, neurological disorders, arthritis, or long-term biomechanical stress.
These deformities can affect walking, balance, posture, and daily activities. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can significantly improve function and prevent long-term disability.
Foot and ankle deformity correction is tailored to the underlying cause and severity of the deformity. Treatment may involve soft-tissue procedures, tendon balancing, osteotomy, gradual correction techniques or reconstruction, depending on the patient's condition.
