Modern Foot Surgery

It is well known that beautiful feet—both male and female—are a hidden secret to outstanding overall appearance. Beyond the aesthetic importance of well-shaped feet to our image, their proper function during walking is extremely important for foot health, as well as for the health of the knees, hips, and spine. Deformities of the toes are now treated with modern techniques that involve no pain and no hospital stay.

The soles of the feet often harden because they do not bear weight evenly as they should, and the toes may gradually become misaligned to adapt to altered loading conditions. In many cases, the entire foot may tilt in response to new walking patterns or underlying pathological conditions. At that point, medical intervention becomes necessary to restore proper weight distribution and normal biomechanics.

Specialized orthopedic surgeon Dr. Konstantinos Dretakis is trained in the most advanced techniques in Europe and the United States and can assist in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of both simple and more complex foot conditions.

The modern treatment techniques we apply can resolve problems such as bunions and toe deformities quickly and effectively, without hospitalization, while also addressing chronic pain conditions.

Healthy and aesthetically pleasing feet reflect overall body health. Proper foot alignment and weight distribution ensure optimal function of the ankle joint, knees, hips, and spine. It is the responsibility of the orthopedic surgeon not only to treat but also to prevent pathological conditions related to our feet and gait.
