Foot Realignment Surgery
Corrective surgery that rebalances a deformed foot so weight spreads evenly and ulcers stop, in India.
Foot realignment surgery for the diabetic foot in India is corrective surgery that restores a deformed foot to a balanced, level (plantigrade) position, combining bone cuts, fusions and soft-tissue procedures, so weight is spread evenly, pressure ulcers are offloaded, and the foot becomes stable and fit for footwear. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) it is performed by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch., a Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon with 22+ years’ experience) in Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh.
Why Foot Realignment Matters
A deformed foot, from Charcot collapse, old fractures, or severe flat or high-arched shapes, loads pressure onto small areas that ulcerate again and again. Realigning the foot spreads weight normally and removes those pressure points, which is essential to break the ulcer cycle and save the limb.
What Foot Realignment Involves
- Full assessment of the deformity, pressure and gait.
- Bone cuts (osteotomies) and fusions to correct the shape.
- Balancing tendons and soft tissue to hold the correction.
- Removing bony bumps and healing any ulcer.
- Protected recovery so the foot heals in its corrected position.
Who Benefits from Foot Realignment
- People with a deformed foot causing recurrent ulcers.
- Those with a healed but misshapen Charcot foot.
- Patients whose foot cannot be safely braced or shod.
- Anyone needing a stable foot to keep walking and avoid amputation.
