Foot And Ankle Surgery
Overview of Our Foot Surgery Treatment
In the past, foot surgery often involved hospitalization, casts, crutches, and weeks or months off work. Fortunately, that is no longer true. With modern technology and equipment, nearly all foot surgery patients spend very little time in the hospital, and can be back on their feet within days.
Many ambulatory foot surgery procedures today are performed by our foot and ankle specialists in the A Step Ahead Foot & Ankle Center clinics. Other, more complicated procedures are performed on an “out-patient” basis at local hospitals or surgery centers. Our podiatric surgeons strive to provide the most up-to-date techniques to our patients. These new techniques helps patients gain normal function to their foot and ankle as quickly and comfortably as possible.

Common Sources Of Foot Pain
While your foot surgery should never be put off, as it has the potential to cause further short-term or long-term damage, it’s possible for your foot and ankle pain to come from a few different sources. If any of the following common causes of foot pain seem to describe your condition, reach out to our team today to get advice on next steps or to schedule your foot surgery in Colorado or Wyoming:
- Plantar warts. It’s common for small growths known as plantar warts to appear on the bottom of your foot; you can spot this type of growth by its signature fleshy, rough, or grainy texture on the forefoot or the hell. You may experience slight pain or tenderness when standing or walking, and that is when you should speak to our Step Ahead Foot & Ankle Center foot surgery treatment specialists.
- Ingrown toenails. Ingrown toenails are a very common condition that occurs when the corner or side of a nail starts growing into your flesh. Typically these can be taken care of at home, but excessive pain, tenderness, swelling, or infections should be treated by a foot surgery and foot care specialist.
