Advanced Surgical Solutions for Long-Lasting Foot Relief

At Canton Foot & Ankle, we offer expert podiatric surgery for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions affecting both the forefoot and rearfoot. Whether you’re struggling with bunions, chronic heel pain, flatfoot deformities, or ankle instability, our experienced surgeon uses the latest techniques to restore comfort, function, and mobility.

What Is Forefoot and Rearfoot Surgery?

Forefoot surgery addresses conditions in the front part of the foot—including the toes, ball of the foot, and metatarsals—while rearfoot surgery focuses on the heel, ankle, and arch. These procedures are designed to correct deformities, relieve pain, and improve walking function when conservative treatments are no longer effective.

Conditions We Treat with Surgery

Forefoot Surgery

  • Bunions (Hallux Valgus)
    Surgical realignment of the big toe joint to relieve pain and restore function.

  • Hammertoes
    Correction of curled or contracted toes to improve alignment and comfort.

  • Neuromas
    Removal or decompression of nerve tissue causing burning or tingling sensations.

  • Metatarsalgia
    Procedures to relieve pain in the ball of the foot caused by joint or bone abnormalities.

Rearfoot Surgery

  • Flatfoot Reconstruction
    Surgical realignment of the arch to relieve pain and restore foot mechanics.

  • Heel Spurs & Plantar Fasciitis
    Advanced treatment for chronic heel pain that hasn’t responded to other methods.

  • Tendon Repair (e.g., Achilles)
    Repairing damaged or ruptured tendons that support the foot and ankle.

  • Ankle Stabilization & Fusion
    Procedures to treat instability, arthritis, or deformities in the ankle joint.
