Reconstructive Foot & Ankle Surgery
When the structure of the foot or ankle has broken down — through deformity, injury, arthritis, or a previous surgery that didn't hold — reconstruction rebuilds it.
What it is
Reconstructive surgery restores the alignment, stability, and function of the foot and ankle. It may involve realigning bones, repairing or transferring tendons, fusing damaged joints, or correcting deformities that have developed over years.
These are among the most demanding procedures in foot and ankle care. Dr. Barnett trained in exactly this — reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery at a Level I trauma center, where the most complex cases arrive daily.
Our approach
Reconstruction is never the first conversation. Dr. Barnett starts by understanding what the problem takes from you — then exhausts sensible conservative options before recommending surgery.
When surgery is right, you'll see your imaging, understand the plan, and know what recovery realistically looks like before you decide anything.
