At Care Podiatry, we offer foot and ankle surgery when conservative treatments are not enough to relieve pain or restore function. Our team carefully evaluates your condition, symptoms, and treatment history to determine if surgery is the right option for you. We focus on addressing the underlying issue—whether it’s deformity, injury, or chronic pain—using advanced techniques aimed at improving mobility and long-term outcomes. From pre-surgical planning to post-operative care, our goal is to support a smooth recovery and help you return to your daily activities with improved comfort and stability.
Foot and ankle surgery treats conditions that cause persistent pain, instability, deformity, or loss of mobility in the lower extremities. Most foot and ankle problems can be managed with conservative treatments. However, surgery is recommended when those fail to provide the needed relief. At Care Podiatry, our team provides surgical options to restore function, relieve pain, and help patients to get back to their daily lives.
Surgery is needed to stabilize broken bones in the ankle using screws, plates, or other fixation devices. It helps ensure proper healing and joint alignment.
Damaged or ruptured tendons, such as the Achilles tendon, can be surgically repaired to restore ankle strength and stability.
Chronic ankle instability is caused by repeated sprains or ligament damage; surgical repair or reconstruction can restore joint stability.
Fusion surgery is performed to permanently join bones in the joint, reducing pain and improving stability.
When the ankle joint is severely damaged by arthritis, joint replacement surgery is recommended to restore mobility and reduce pain.
Procedures can also address structural deformities such as flat feet, bunions, or abnormal toe alignment. It helps improve function and footwear comfort.
Recovery time depends on the type and complexity of the procedure. In most cases, patients may need to use a walker, crutches, or a protective boot for a short-period when recovering early.
Some of the recovery steps include:

I think it is great shoePosted on paols eolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Alvaro ContrerasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10 out of 10 podiatryPosted on Manny DiazTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. ---
