Treatment & Procedures
Metatarsal Surgery
The long bones in the centre of your foot are called metatarsals. Each foot has five metatarsal bones, which join your toes to the back of your foot. When you run, walk, or stand, your body weight is more evenly distributed due to these bones.

FAQ's
Podiatrists, podiatric physicians, and podiatric surgeons are interchangeable terms referring to surgeons specialising in the field of podiatric surgery. They possess unique qualifications among medical practitioners to provide specialised care for the foot and ankle, drawing from their education, training, and professional expertise. The range of surgical procedures conducted by podiatric surgeons may vary depending on their individual experience and practice preferences.
Podiatric surgeons specialise in diagnosing and treating a variety of foot and ankle disorders. They are uniquely equipped to manage bone, joint, ligament, muscle, and tendon issues affecting the foot and ankle, which may include:
- Structural deformities like bunions, hammertoes, painful flat feet, and high-arched foot deformities
- Bone spurs
- Heel pain
- Nerve entrapments
- Tendons and soft tissue problems
- Degeneration and arthrosis of the foot and ankle joints
- Skin and nail conditions such as warts, ingrown toenails, and corns
- Congenital deformities
- Chronic trauma-related injuries, including fractures, dislocations, and post-traumatic arthrosis
In podiatric and orthopaedic injuries, pain represents just one facet of the condition. Issues like discomfort while wearing footwear, limitations in walking and performing daily activities, and the potential for joint degeneration are all factors prompting individuals to seek treatment. While conservative methods may offer temporary pain relief for many foot and ankle problems, persistent pain and increasing difficulties in daily life may necessitate surgery as a more definitive solution. Surgery aims to address persistent issues and prevent the development of more severe conditions. However, surgery may not be suitable for every patient. Your podiatric surgeon can assess whether you are an appropriate candidate for surgical intervention or if alternative treatments are more suitable for your situation.
Podiatric Surgery offers proven and effective foot health care and is often performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia. Early discharge and postoperative ambulation reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections, promoting a quicker recovery process. The active engagement of calf muscles aids in reducing the likelihood of developing blood clots, as they facilitate blood circulation to the surgical site, fostering healing. However, no surgical procedure is entirely without risk.
Complications may include:
- Prolonged swelling
- Hematoma
- Scar thickening
- Screw or pin loosening
- Infections
- Nerve damage
- Delayed healing
- Rarely, life-threatening thrombosis of deep veins
Mitigating risks involves thorough screening and investigations to address underlying health issues, ensuring surgery is conducted under optimal conditions or deferred until health concerns are resolved. Patients must be informed of potential complications before consenting to podiatric surgery.
It's crucial to carefully follow your surgeon's pre-operative preparation instructions before having foot surgery. This usually includes making arrangements for hospital transportation as well as doing any prescribed lab work or pre-operative testing. Verify the timing of your appointment with the surgical centre to make sure everything runs well.
Make sure your toenails are clipped and your foot is clean before the procedure. Seeing a podiatrist may help ensure that the nails are cut short enough and remove any dead skin surrounding the foot, which will aid with post-operative comfort while the foot is bandaged. This preemptive measure can improve your surgery experience overall and facilitate a more seamless recuperation.
Wearing your post-operative shoes, you can gradually resume most activities after the first 48 hours of elevating your foot. You should not remove the surgical dressing until your first post-operative checkup. Baths are advised to keep the dressing from getting moist.
It is not unusual to have burning, tingling, or numbness in the foot or ankle after foot surgery. For 48 hours following the treatment, raising your foot above your heart level might help ease unpleasant feelings. Should the symptoms continue, it might mean that the dressing or cast is overly tight, in which case your surgeon has to see you right away. Steer clear of standing or sitting for extended periods, and do not put any weight on the surgical site until your surgeon gives the all-clear.
Painkillers that your surgeon will prescribe might make you sick to your stomach or constipated. Eat modestly and drink plenty of water the day before surgery. To facilitate appropriate healing, make sure your bandages stay dry and clean. Additional X-rays may be required to track the healing process, usually done 3-6 weeks after the initial procedure to check the healing process. In addition, as part of their rehabilitation process, patients are frequently mandated to wear post-operative shoes. You will receive thorough post-operative instructions for your care from your surgeon.
