Outpatient Podiatry Surgery

Outpatient podiatry surgery focuses on treating conditions that affect the foot, ankle or lower leg. These procedures are typically done under local or regional anesthesia, meaning you can recover at home rather than stay overnight in the hospital. 

At Banner Surgery Centers and hospitals, we diagnose and treat podiatry issues including: 

  • Bunions and hammertoes 
  • Sprains, fractures or dislocations 
  • Calluses and corns that cause pain or pressure 
  • Bone or soft tissue lesions 
  • Chronic pain related to foot deformities or injuries 

Your doctor will determine whether outpatient surgery is the right option for your condition and overall health. 

Common outpatient podiatry surgery procedures 

Our skilled surgical teams perform a wide range of foot and ankle procedures to relieve pain, restore alignment and improve mobility. Common outpatient podiatric surgeries include: 

  • Hammertoe repair 
  • Bunion correction (with or without implant) 
  • Bone removal or reshaping for bunion treatment 
  • Metatarsal fracture repair 
  • Big toe joint fusion 
  • Metatarsal incision or osteotomy 
  • Foot bone fusion or fixation 
  • Lesion or cyst removal 

Each procedure is tailored to your specific condition and recovery goals. Our surgeons use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to reduce scarring, swelling and downtime. 

What to expect from your procedure 

Before surgery, your care team will explain what to expect, including preparation, anesthesia options and recovery instructions. Most outpatient podiatry procedures take one to two hours, and you can usually return home the same day with a protective boot or surgical shoe. 

During recovery, you’ll receive detailed instructions about: 

  • Pain management and wound care 
  • When to begin walking or bearing weight 
  • How to prevent infection and swelling 
  • When to schedule your follow-up appointment 

Your Banner care team will monitor your progress and help ensure your recovery stays on track.
