Arch Stabilization Surgery
Rebuilds and stabilizes a collapsed arch so the foot can bear weight without ulcers, in India.
Arch stabilization surgery for the diabetic foot in India rebuilds and fixes a collapsed or unstable midfoot arch, often the result of Charcot foot, to create a stable, level foot that can bear weight safely without the bony pressure points that cause recurrent ulcers. 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 Arch Stabilization Matters
When the midfoot collapses, the arch drops and bones press abnormally on the sole, causing ulcers and instability that footwear alone cannot fix. Rebuilding and fixing the arch restores a stable, weight-bearing shape. It is a key limb-preserving option for a severely deformed Charcot foot.
What Arch Stabilization Involves
- Assessing the deformity and stability with imaging.
- Realigning the collapsed bones into a stable arch.
- Fixing them with screws, plates or rods to hold the correction.
- Removing any bony bump causing an ulcer.
- Protected recovery so the foot heals in its corrected shape.
Who Benefits from Arch Stabilization
- People with a collapsed, unstable midfoot or dropped arch.
- Those with a rocker-bottom Charcot foot and recurrent ulcers.
- Patients whose foot cannot be safely braced or shod.
- Anyone needing a stable foot to avoid amputation.
Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah
