Flat Foot Reconstruction in Mumbai

Advanced Surgical Correction for Severe Flat Foot at Mumbai Foot Ankle Clinic

Flat foot reconstruction is a comprehensive surgical procedure performed to correct severe or painful flat foot deformity when non-surgical treatments fail. The surgery aims to restore the natural arch of the foot, improve alignment, relieve pain, and enhance long-term stability.
At Mumbai Foot Ankle Clinic, we specialize in customized flat foot reconstruction using modern techniques tailored to each patient’s foot structure and lifestyle.

What Is Flat Foot Reconstruction?

Flat foot reconstruction involves a combination of surgical procedures to correct bone alignment, repair or strengthen tendons, and restore proper foot mechanics. Unlike simple procedures, reconstruction addresses the root cause of deformity rather than temporary symptom relief.

It is most commonly recommended for adult acquired flat foot deformity or severe, progressive flat feet.

Who Needs Flat Foot Reconstruction?

You may be a candidate for surgery if you experience:

• Severe or progressive flat foot deformity

• Persistent pain despite orthotics and physiotherapy

• Ankle or hindfoot pain due to collapsed arch

• Difficulty walking or standing for long periods

• Foot fatigue and instability

• Failure of conservative treatment

Early surgical correction helps prevent further joint damage.

Causes of Severe Flat Foot

• Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction

• Long-standing flat foot deformity

• Arthritis affecting foot joints

• Trauma or previous foot injuries

• Neuromuscular imbalance

• Obesity or prolonged strain on the foot

Identifying the cause is essential for proper surgical planning.

Diagnosis & Pre-Surgical Evaluation

Our foot and ankle specialists perform a detailed assessment that includes:

• Clinical examination and deformity assessment

• Gait and alignment analysis

• X-rays to evaluate bone structure

• MRI scans to assess tendon condition

• Evaluation of ankle and hindfoot stability

This ensures a personalized and precise reconstruction plan.

Flat Foot Reconstruction Surgery

Depending on the severity and type of deformity, surgery may include:

• Bone realignment procedures (osteotomies)

• Tendon repair or tendon transfer

• Ligament reconstruction

• Joint stabilization or fusion (if required)

• Correction of associated deformities

The procedure is customized for each patient to achieve optimal correction and durability.
