Cheilectomy (foot) Procedure

A cheilectomy is a surgical procedure to remove bone spurs from the foot to ensure it can properly move and function. During this procedure, the surgeon will remove excess bone and tissue from the affected joint. Typically, this procedure is recommended for patients who experience extreme discomfort in the foot as the result of Hallux rigidus or arthritis. A Hallux rigidus is a common arthritic condition that occurs when the toe joint stiffens, preventing the foot from normal function. A cheilectomy procedure is used to remove the bone spur and bring back function and mobility to the foot.

¿Cuando es necesario este procedimiento?

A cheilectomy is a surgical procedure performed on the big toe to alleviate pain and stiffness caused by osteoarthritis. A cheilectomy may be considered medically necessary when conservative treatments such as pain medications, physical therapy, or orthotic footwear have failed to provide significant relief. The decision to proceed with this procedure is typically based on several factors including the severity of symptoms, the extent of joint damage, patient age and medical history, and the impact on daily activities.

It is important for healthcare professionals to thoroughly evaluate each case and educate the patient about potential risks and benefits before recommending a cheilectomy. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance mobility, reduce discomfort, and restore quality of life for individuals suffering from debilitating toe arthritis who have not experienced sufficient improvement through non-surgical interventions.

Patients with the following conditions may consider cheilectomy:

  • Hallux rigidus
  • Artritis
  • Bone spurs in the foot

Qué esperar

Patients are given local or general anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon will begin by making an incision at the top of the big toe and will remove any excess bone that could be causing discomfort. After this, the surgeon will close the incision and the patient will be removed from the anesthesia.

During the initial stages of recovery, patients are advised to keep weight off the operated foot and frequently elevate it to minimize swelling. Physical therapy exercises are gradually introduced to aid in regaining strength, flexibility, and range of motion. The duration of cheilectomy recovery can vary depending on factors such as the severity of the condition and individual healing capacities; however, most patients can expect significant improvement within two to three months following surgery.
