Discover the Benefits of Metal-Free Surgery for Foot and Ankle Care

Experience a Safer, More Natural Approach to Surgery

With the metal-free surgery at Care Podiatry, we believe in putting your health first and that’s why we eliminate the need for traditional metal implants. 

In addition to our biocompatible solutions, our patients benefit from being both safer and more natural ways to heal, with reduced risks and long-term benefits.

Why Should You Choose Metal-Free Surgery?

Metal implants for traditional surgeries can cause allergic reactions, discomfort, complications that persist over time. Some metal-free surgical solutions involve using high-quality biocompatible materials like ceramic implants and bioresorbable fixation devices that ultimately become part of your body. 

Hypoallergenic – No risk of metal allergies or sensitivities
Biocompatible Materials – Promotes natural healing without interference
Reduced Inflammation – Lower risk of chronic pain and swelling
No Metal Toxicity – Eliminates the potential for metal-related complications
Aesthetic Benefits – No visible metal under the skin, maintaining a natural look

Metal free surgical solutions are the perfect solution  for a range of foot and ankle conditions, as safe as traditional procedures. We use advanced biocompatible materials that have a great effect on the treatment of fractures, bunions, joint deformities, tendon injuries, and chronic pain.

I took my daughter here for a sports related injury. The guys at the urgent care did not do a thorough exam they just listened to the symptoms and said she had shin splints. DR Maijala on the other hand really took his time to figure out what was wrong. He has a great foot-side manner. I would highly recommend him.

I've been under the care of Dr. Maijala since January 2025, and I cannot express how grateful I am for his exceptional care. When I developed cellulitis, it escalated to the point where I needed to be hospitalized and operated on. Dr. Maijala acted quickly and decisively, skillfully cleaning out the infection and ensuring my recovery. What truly sets Dr. Maijala apart is his remarkable combination of expertise and compassion. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled but also genuinely caring and attentive. He takes the time to listen to his patients, addressing all concerns with patience and understanding. His approach makes patients feel valued and respected, which is a rare quality in healthcare today. I wish all doctors were as dedicated and compassionate as Dr. Maijala. His commitment to his patients is truly inspiring, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of exceptional medical care. ---
