Foot & Ankle Surgery


Foot and Ankle Surgeon Indianapolis IN Foot & Ankle Surgeon in Indianapolis, IN

Foot and ankle surgery may be required to correct a serious deformity of the ankle and its bone structure. Injury (such as a fracture), birth defects, or changes throughout the course of life are the usual culprits. Diseases, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and neuromuscular conditions, may cause severe foot and ankle deformities that, over time, cause pain and difficulty in walking.

What Can Foot and Ankle Surgery Do For You?

Foot and ankle surgeries emphasize the realignment of the structure either around or after removal of the deformity. Various kinds of internal and external fixation devices—some temporary, others permanent—are often required to maintain the appropriate alignment during, and beyond, the healing process. Prestige Podiatry's foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Agricola treats a wide variety of foot and ankle conditions. These may include basic to complete foot or ankle disorders and injuries for patients of all ages.

The Foot and Ankle Surgery Process

Foot and ankle surgeries vary in complexity, length, and severity, yet many of them today are conducted on a same-day, outpatient basis. Patients need to arrange for another person to take them home afterward and stay with them for the first 24 hours following the surgery. Post-operative instructions, provided by your foot and ankle surgeon, will give you the information needed to care for your recovering ankle following surgery.
