Surgical Treatments for Flat Feet
Surgery for flat feet is considered when conservative management strategies have failed to relieve your symptoms. The medical practitioner (podiatrist) will examine your feet and usually conduct an X-ray. Persistent pain, limited function, and a tendon rupture may all be reasons for surgical intervention. Usually, the doctor will either fuse bones together to prevent deformity and pain, perform an osteotomy (cutting and changing the orientation of the bone), or replace a ruptured tendon.
