Wide feet can be a problem for many women who have difficulty in finding appropriate shoes.
Current fashion trends show that shoes are increasingly becoming more stylish and narrower with shoe size not always matching foot size. When this situation is sustained, the foot suffers and can become painful and deformed.
In these cases, surgery to narrow the feet by a few centimetres can be carried out. This is achieved by changing the outlay of the bones in the middle part of the foot, maintaining the plantar arch and improving its functionality in many cases.
Post surgery requires the patient to stay off the operated foot for six weeks to enable the rearranged bones to adjust. In some cases there can be slight swelling which is easily relieved with an elastic support / stocking)
