Is there corrective surgery for fallen arches?

Yes: There are many ways to correct fallen arches or flat foot deformity via surgery. We often exhaust of methods of controlling symptoms conservatively before consideration of any operative intervention.

Yes: First off, surgery should only be considered if the flat foot is symptommatic and has failed to respond to non surgical management. Flat foot surgery requires a comprehensive approach and may involve bony realignment (osteotomies), joint fusions (arthrodesis), tendon lengthening and tendon transfers. Be very cautious about "simple" surgeries such as implants to correct deformities.

Fallen arches: This is what i like to call gee whiz surgery because of what it can entail. See your prospective surgeon , sit down and ask a ton of questions.
