Types of Foot and Ankle Conditions

The foot and ankle are involved structures comprising bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons, all working together to support the body's weight and enable movement. Various conditions can affect these structures, necessitating specialized care. The types of foot and ankle conditions include:

  • Bunions and Hammertoes: These deformities of the toes can cause significant discomfort and require surgical correction.
  • Plantar Fasciitis: This condition causes tissue inflammation along the bottom of the foot, resulting in heel pain.
  • Achilles Tendinitis: Overuse or injury to the Achilles tendon can generate pain and swelling in the heel and lower leg.
  • Ankle Sprains: These injuries occur when the ligaments supporting the ankle are stretched or torn.
  • Arthritis: Degenerative joint changes can lead to pain and reduced mobility.
  • Fractures: Trauma or overuse can lead to broken bones in the foot or ankle.
  • Flat Feet and High Arches: These structural abnormalities can lead to discomfort and require specialized treatment.
  • Diabetic Foot Problems: Diabetes can cause many foot issues, including ulcers, infections, and neuropathy, which need careful management.
  • Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the tibial nerve as it passes via the tarsal tunnel can generate pain and numbness in the foot.
  • Morton's Neuroma is a thickening of the tissue near a nerve leading to the toes that causes pain and discomfort.
  • Heel Spurs: Bony growths on the lower of the heel bone can generate pain and inflammation.
  • Sesamoiditis: Inflammation of the football's sesamoid bones and surrounding tendons.

Common Foot and Ankle Conditions

    Bunions and Hammertoes

    Bunions are bumps on the joint at the bottom of the big toe, and hammertoes are deformities that cause a toe to bend or curl downward rather than pointing forward. Both conditions can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. Treatment options include wearing appropriate footwear, using orthotic devices, and, in severe cases, surgery. Our Foot and Ankle Hospital in Delhi is well-equipped to handle these conditions with conservative and surgical treatments.

    Plantar Fasciitis

    Plantar fasciitis is a familiar cause of heel pain, particularly among runners and overweight individuals. It involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that spans the bottom of the foot. Symptoms include sharp pain in the heel, primarily upon first standing in the morning. Treatment may include rest, physical therapy, and, in some cases, corticosteroid injections. Our Foot and Ankle Surgery in Delhi is renowned for effectively treating this condition.

    Achilles Tendinitis

    Achilles tendinitis occurs when the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone becomes inflamed due to injury. Symptoms include pain and swelling at the back of the heel. Treatment options include rest, ice application, and physical therapy. Severe cases may require surgical intervention. Nulife Hospital's experienced Foot and Ankle Surgeon in Delhi offers advanced treatment options for Achilles tendinitis.

    Ankle Sprains

    Ankle sprains are among the most common injuries, often occurring during sports or physical activities. They occur when the ligaments supporting the ankle stretch or tear. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and bruising. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), and physical therapy to correct strength and flexibility. Our Foot and Ankle Doctor in Delhi specializes in treating acute and chronic ankle sprains.

    Arthritis

    Arthritis in the foot and ankle can lead to substantial pain and restrict mobility. The most common types affecting these areas are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis. Symptoms include joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Treatment options include medication, physical therapy, and surgical procedures such as joint replacement or fusion. Our Foot and Ankle Specialist in Delhi offers comprehensive care for arthritis-related conditions.

    Fractures

    Foot and ankle fractures can result from traumatic injuries or repetitive stress. Symptoms involve pain, swelling, and difficulty bearing weight. Treatment depends on the harshness of the fracture and may include immobilisation with a cast or brace, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery. Our Foot and Ankle Treatment in Delhi includes state-of-the-art fracture management techniques.
