FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a Lisfranc injury and why is it serious?

A Lisfranc injury involves fracture or dislocation in the midfoot where the metatarsal bones connect to the tarsal bones. It is serious because improper treatment can lead to chronic pain, flatfoot deformity, and arthritis. Early Lisfranc Injury Treatment by an expert is essential.

2. How soon should I see a specialist after foot or ankle trauma?

As early as possible. Ideally within 24–48 hours for proper assessment. Delayed treatment can make reconstruction more difficult and affect final outcomes.

3. Can all fractures be treated without surgery?

Many minor fractures can be managed with casting or bracing. However, displaced fractures, joint involvement (e.g., ankle, talus, calcaneum, Lisfranc), or ligament injuries often require surgical fixation for best results.

4. What is the advantage of minimally invasive surgery in trauma?

Minimally invasive foot surgery uses smaller incisions, causes less soft tissue damage, reduces infection risk, and allows faster healing and early rehabilitation compared to traditional open surgery.

5. How long does recovery take after calcaneum (heel bone) fracture surgery?

Recovery typically takes 3 to 6 months. Weight-bearing is gradually introduced under guidance. Proper physiotherapy is crucial for regaining foot function after calcaneal osteotomy or fracture fixation.

6. Can post-traumatic arthritis be prevented after foot trauma?

Accurate anatomic reduction and stable fixation during initial surgery significantly reduce the risk of post-traumatic arthritis. Dr. Vyas focuses on precise reconstruction to preserve joint health.

7. Do you treat neglected or old trauma cases?

Yes. Dr. Harsh Vyas has expertise in correcting malunited fractures, deformities, and chronic instability resulting from old or poorly treated trauma through foot reconstruction surgery.

8. Is tendon repair necessary after trauma?

Yes, in many cases. Untreated tendon injuries can lead to weakness, deformity, and instability. Tendon Repair Foot Surgery is performed to restore strength and function.
