What is foot orthopedics?
Foot and ankle orthopedics at Uperform is a specialized medical service provided by an orthopedic physician to diagnose and treat all conditions affecting the foot and ankle. As fundamental structures of your musculoskeletal system, these joints support your entire body weight with every step and are particularly prone to injuries, deformities, and degenerative disorders.
Whether it involves chronic pain, progressive deformity, or joint instability, our orthopedist provides an accurate diagnosis and recommends the most appropriate treatment for your condition — conservative or surgical.
At Uperform, the orthopedist works closely with our physiotherapists and podiatrists to provide comprehensive and consistent care, from diagnosis through to your return to daily activities.
What conditions?
Our foot and ankle orthopedist treats a wide range of conditions, including:
- Hallux valgus – forefoot deformity with or without surgical indication
- Plantar fasciitis and aponeurositis – chronic pain in the arch of the foot
- Ankle instability – recurrent sprains, chronic ligament laxity
- Fractures and injuries – acute care and post-traumatic follow-up
- Foot and ankle osteoarthritis – joint degeneration and loss of mobility
- Toe deformities – claw toes, hammer toes, tailor’s bunion (quintus varus)
- Chronic pain of mechanical, postural, or inflammatory origin
From diagnosis to treatment
Each consultation begins with a thorough medical history and a careful clinical examination. Depending on your situation, additional tests (weight-bearing X-rays, ultrasound, MRI) may be required to refine the diagnosis and guide treatment decisions.
The proposed treatment may be:
- Conservative: targeted injections (cortisone, PRP, hyaluronic acid), prescription of custom orthotics in collaboration with our podiatrist, referral to physiotherapy or shockwave therapy.
- Surgical: when surgery is required — hallux valgus correction, ligament stabilization, arthrodesis — our orthopedist supports you in the surgical decision-making process and coordinates your post-operative rehabilitation with our physiotherapists.
Podiatry & Orthopedics
At Uperform, the orthopedist and the podiatrist work hand in hand. This collaboration is particularly valuable for biomechanical or postural conditions, where orthopedic treatment alone is not sufficient.
Your podiatrist may intervene beforehand to analyze your foot support and design custom orthopedic insoles, or after surgery to support weight-bearing recovery and prevent recurrence. This unique synergy ensures coherent and long-term care without the need to move between different clinics.
