A foot surgeon, also known as a podiatrist, specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the feet, ankles, and lower legs. They perform surgeries to correct deformities, relieve pain, and restore function. Common procedures include bunion removal, ankle reconstruction, and treatment of fractures. Foot surgeons often work with patients suffering from injuries, arthritis, or complications from diabetes. They may also provide preventive care and advice on proper footwear. Their expertise helps improve mobility and overall quality of life for individuals with foot-related issues.
