Relieve Foot Pain with Partial Heel Ostectomy
Partial ostectomy of heel is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a portion of the heel bone. This procedure is typically performed to relieve pain and discomfort caused by conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and Achilles tendonitis. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision on the side of the heel and removes a portion of the bone. The remaining bone is then reshaped to maintain the normal alignment of the foot. The incision is closed with sutures and a bandage is applied. The patient will typically need to wear a cast or walking boot for several weeks to allow the bone to heal properly. Physical therapy may also be necessary to regain strength and flexibility in the foot. Overall, partial ostectomy of heel is a safe and effective procedure that can provide relief from chronic foot pain.
