Walking after high arch foot surgery should be better with normal rehabilitation than walking before surgery. Common high arched foot surgeries include soft tissue surgery and bony surgery, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages.
1. Soft tissue surgery: Less severe symptoms can be corrected by releasing, relocating, and reconstructing the plantar tendon to repair the deformity. Due to the progression of the disease itself, it is prone to recurrence and its ability to correct the deformity is weak.
2. Bone surgery: wedge-shaped resection of the bones of the midfoot through wedge-shaped osteotomy to restore the normal arch and shape of the foot. Bone surgery is powerful in correcting deformity, but it is very traumatic. If the bone heals poorly at the osteotomy site, deformity correction will fail and the loss of foot function will be more serious. There is also arthrodesis, which can ensure stability and balance by sacrificing joint function.
Most high arched feet are congenital foot deformities, often characterized by difficulty in walking and foot pain. It is recommended that people with high arched feet should go to a regular hospital in time and choose the appropriate surgery according to their own specific conditions under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying their condition.
