A member asked:
Has anyone had successful corrective surgery for fallen arches?

Sure: There are different types of surgery for this condition. Prior to entertaining a flatfoot reconstruction if you have a flexible flatfoot, i would encourage you to consider a "sinus tarsi implant". For more info see: www.Fixmyflatfeet.Com this is a minimally invasive procedure that yields very good results and worse case scenerio is reversible.

Yes: Corrective surgery for fallen arches can be succesful. Dependant on the type of surgery required this can be a short or very long recovery. Consult with a podiatrist to determine what will be the best treatment approach for you.
