Midfoot Arthritis
Orthopaedic surgeon based in Darlington specialising in foot and ankle surgery
Symptoms
Midfoot arthritis can manifest as pain, swelling, and stiffness in the middle part of the foot. Patients may experience difficulty with weight-bearing activities and notice a decrease in joint motion.
Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis involves a thorough clinical examination, imaging studies like X-rays, and sometimes advanced imaging such as CT or MRI scans.
Non-operative Treatment
Non-operative approaches may include anti-inflammatory medications, activity modification, orthotics, and physical therapy to alleviate symptoms.
Operative Treatments
When conservative measures prove insufficient, surgical options like arthrodesis or joint replacement may be considered. Recovery varies based on the chosen procedure but typically involves physical therapy and gradual return to activities.
