How Is Foot Surgery Performed?
Dr. Ameglio uses modern surgical methods that support healing and reduce downtime. After surgery, patients are given clear instructions about foot surgery recovery, which may include wearing a walking boot, keeping weight off the foot, and starting physical therapy at the right time. Dr. Ameglio specializes in the following:
- Flat foot reconstruction: This procedure adjusts the position of the bones, strengthens the arch, and repairs nearby soft tissues, improving foot stability. For better long-term support, surgery may involve bone grafts or realignment procedures.
- Ankle ligament repair: This surgery addresses loose or torn ligaments that cause ankle weakness. Reinforcing the joint involves tightening stretched ligaments and using grafts when necessary. The procedure helps reduce ankle sprains and instability.
- Tendon repair: This type of surgery helps restore function to damaged, inflamed, or ruptured tendons. The tendons are carefully sewn back together or replaced using healthy tissue.

Many people put off surgery for months or even years. But once they go through with it, they often wish they had done it sooner. Foot surgery at Ameglio Orthopedics offers the following benefits:
- Improved foot function and support
- Better balance and mobility
