Reconstructive Foot & Ankle Surgery by Podiatrist Dr. Vladimir Zeetser

Reconstructive Foot and Ankle surgery is aimed at correcting structural deformities, whether congenital or acquired, to restore function and eliminate or reduce pain. This is distinguished from aesthetic surgery, which is typically performed to correct deformities for cosmetic reasons that are not currently painful.
