Foot
Inappropriate footwear, often too tight or with high heels, can put a lot of strain on the feet. Pain is usually the first warning sign. Ideally, this will disappear by itself.
However, if there is a predisposition or injuries, painful foot problems can arise. In the case of severe deformities, surgery is often the only way to achieve rapid and lasting relief.
Restoring mobility is particularly important for older people. Thanks to modern methods of foot surgery and new implants, this is now possible. In addition to functionality, aesthetics also play an important role. The aim of every operation is to achieve a functional and attractive result.
