What is Heel Reconstruction Surgery?

What is AV Fistula for Dialysis?

Heel reconstruction surgery involves the repair or reconstruction of damaged or missing tissues in the heel area due to trauma, ulcers, infection, or congenital defects. This procedure restores both function and structure of the heel, enabling patients to walk, bear weight, and resume daily activities with reduced pain and improved mobility.

Common Indications

  • Severe trauma to the heel resulting in exposed bone or tendon
  • Chronic heel ulcers, especially in diabetic patients
  • Post-surgical defects following tumor excision or debridement
  • Failed skin grafts or non-healing wounds on the heel requiring surgical reconstruction.

Techniques Used

  • Local flap surgery using nearby tissue for soft tissue coverage
  • Free flap microsurgery for complex or large heel wounds
  • Skin grafting for superficial wound coverage
  • Tendon and nerve reconstruction in case of functional loss

About the Surgery/Treatment

Heel reconstruction is a specialized surgical procedure that combines plastic, orthopedic, and trauma surgery techniques to restore the heel’s function and form. Dr. Saxena uses state-of-the-art microsurgical and flap techniques to ensure durable, long-lasting results.

Treatment Process

  • Thorough wound and foot assessment with imaging if needed
  • Selection of flap or graft technique based on defect complexity
  • Surgical reconstruction under anesthesia
  • In-hospital post-operative monitoring and wound care

Benefits of this Surgery

  • Restores ability to walk and bear weight
  • Prevents further infection or complications
  • Improves aesthetic appearance of heel
  • Long-term functional stability of the foot

Heel reconstruction surgery is life-changing for patients with heel defects. Dr. Bharat Saxena’s expertise ensures a balance of cosmetic finesse and surgical strength for lasting recovery.

What to Expect After Surgery

Post-surgery, patients can expect progressive improvement in mobility, reduction in pain, and restoration of heel integrity. Careful follow-up ensures proper healing and flap/graft survival.

Post-Surgery

  • Initial immobilization and elevation of the limb
  • Monitoring for infection, flap viability, wound healing, and circulation.
  • Dressing changes under sterile conditions
  • Pain management and wound observation

Recovery Milestones

  • First dressing change within 72 hours post-op
  • Suture removal between day 10–14 depending on healing
  • Gradual physiotherapy starts after 2 weeks
  • Full weight bearing usually resumes in 6–8 weeks

Follow-Up Care

Regular follow-ups are critical for optimal recovery.

Follow-up Schedule

  • First post-op check-up within 5–7 days
  • Weekly follow-ups for the first month
  • Monthly visits until full functional recovery
  • Yearly monitoring for patients with chronic conditions

Follow-Up Care
