What Are Bone Deformities?

A bone deformity is a condition where the bone or bones in the foot deviate from the typical structure, shape, or size. An incorrectly positioned or misaligned bone can create further complications, such as an imbalanced gait, pain lesions, or stress fractures in severe scenarios.

Bone deformities can occur as a result of congenital defects, abnormal growths, or trauma due to injury. Some common bone deformities that we treat at AIRE Podiatry Studio include:

Flat Feet
Fractures
High Arches (Cavus Foot)
Metatarsalgia
Osteoarthritis
Bunions
Hammer Toes

Either Dr. Ramani or Dr. Koprince will evaluate your bone deformity and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Please schedule a consultation to learn more about your available treatment options.

How to Treat Bone Deformities?

Depending on the type of bone deformity you are struggling with, your treatment options may range from mild therapies such as altering your footwear, using customized orthotics to support the feet and their realignment to a normal position, and physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and maintain flexibility.

For advanced cases, your podiatrist may recommend assistive devices such as canes, braces, or splints to improve mobility and corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid injections to provide temporary pain relief. If your bone deformity condition does not respond to these treatments, you may be recommended surgical interventions to remove or restore damaged ligaments and joints to a more functional position.

What is the Recovery Like After Treatment?

Patients can expect gradual recovery for mild to moderate bone deformity cases as they undergo physical therapy and make lifestyle changes to aid their treatments. Routine follow-up appointments may be necessary to monitor your recovery and ensure that your strength is increasing.

For more severe bone deformity cases where surgical intervention is necessary, patients can expect to be off their feet for several weeks or months as their feet recover from swelling. Follow-up appointments will be necessary to ensure your feet are healing and realigning properly until we can clear you for a full recovery.
