Dr.Artis was so amazing. After going to two other podiatrists who gave me no support or hope, Dr. artis made me feel like there can be change for me. She was so patient, kind and informative. I’m actually excited to go back and get my results.
Most individuals with high arches can be managed successfully with conservative treatment. However, some patients develop severe structural deformities that significantly affect mobility and quality of life. When symptoms become persistent and daily activities are increasingly limited, surgery may be considered. Surgical treatment aims to correct underlying structural problems and improve long-term function.
Pes cavus surgery in NYC is designed to address severe high arch deformities that cause chronic pain, instability, and progressive functional limitations. Surgical procedures vary depending on the severity and cause of the deformity. Patients may experience difficulty walking, recurrent ankle sprains, pressure-related skin problems, and significant foot pain. Some individuals develop pes cavus due to neurological conditions, while others have inherited structural abnormalities. Surgical correction may involve soft tissue balancing, tendon transfers, osteotomies, or joint stabilization procedures. The goal is to improve alignment and reduce abnormal pressure distribution. Surgery is generally considered after conservative treatment has failed. Proper patient selection is essential for successful outcomes. Comprehensive evaluation helps determine the most appropriate surgical strategy. Long-term improvements often depend on both correction and rehabilitation.
At To Healthy Feet Podiatry, surgical planning begins with detailed biomechanical assessment and advanced imaging studies. Every procedure is customized based on the patient’s anatomy, symptoms, and treatment goals. We carefully discuss all available options before recommending surgery. Postoperative rehabilitation plays a critical role in restoring function and maximizing results. Patients receive ongoing support throughout recovery. Follow-up appointments allow monitoring of healing and progress. Physical therapy may be incorporated to improve strength and mobility. Our focus is on achieving lasting correction while preserving function. Comprehensive care continues beyond the operating room. Through individualized treatment, many patients achieve significant improvements in comfort, stability, and overall quality of life.
