Flatfoot Reconstruction in Pune by Expert Surgeons
What is Flatfoot Reconstruction
Flatfoot, also known as fallen arches, occurs when the arch of the foot collapses, causing the entire sole to touch the ground. This can lead to pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty walking. While mild cases can be managed with physiotherapy, braces, and orthotics, severe or progressive cases may require flatfoot reconstruction surgery.
Flatfoot reconstruction is a surgical procedure designed to restore the normal alignment and function of the foot. Depending on the severity of the condition, the surgery may involve tendon transfers, bone cuts (osteotomies), or fusions. The primary goal is to relieve pain, improve stability, and allow patients to walk comfortably without long-term deformity or disability.
Benefits of Flatfoot Reconstruction
- Restores the natural arch of the foot
- Reduces pain and discomfort during walking or standing
- Improves balance and stability in the foot and ankle
- Prevents progression of deformity and arthritis
- Enables patients to return to normal footwear and activities
Limitations and Disadvantages
Like any surgical procedure, flatfoot reconstruction has potential risks. These include infection, stiffness, hardware irritation, and delayed healing. Recovery often takes several months, and patients must follow strict post-operative care. Rarely, complete correction may not be achieved, especially in severe deformities. However, with expert surgical planning and rehabilitation, outcomes are usually excellent.

How long does recovery take after flatfoot reconstruction?
Recovery usually takes 4–6 months, with physiotherapy continuing for several months to restore strength and mobility.
Will I be able to walk normally after surgery?
Yes. With proper rehabilitation, most patients walk comfortably and return to regular activities without pain.
