Doctor Buckley performs surgical treatment for a range of conditions affecting the midfoot resulting from injury, Arthritis, deformities, and neurological conditions. A range of modern midfoot surgery techniques are employed including soft tissue procedures, ostectomy (bone shaving), osteotomy (bone alignment correction) and arthrodesis (bone fusion) depending on the condition. The recovery from surgery of the midfoot depends on which procedure is performed. Patients can be back to activities and normal shpoes in as little as 2 week for simple procedures, however more complex operations require longer and more involved recovery process. Dr Buckley discusses the expected outcomes and recovery process in depth with every patient prior to undergoing surgery for their condition.
