This foot surgery ended my health and my life.

What surgery did you have?

[@tiagot6516]

Hi Anthony87, how are you? The surgery I did was a surgery called variant osteotomy of the calcaneus, to "correct", flat foot. When they saw the bone, as it is a very aggressive procedure, the bone no longer sticks as before. It is not like a fracture, which the bone then glues normally in place. He doesn't let go, but he keeps sliding and sinking with time. They saw half the heel bone and put it 1 cm in. This is wrong because the heel is not the cause of the flat foot. He is healthy and in surgery they spoil him. Now as he sank more than 1 cm inward he started to overload all the bones in my body and they started to bend. Mainly, the leg and hip bones. I am in great pain now. These osteotomy surgeries in which they saw the bone and then move it, are a medical error, just as there are errors in any profession. This was the surgery they did on me and I regret it forever, I am much worse than before, I wanted to get my feet back as they were before having this surgery. When they saw the bone, the bone does not stick as it used to, either because the bone cells get weaker, or with less blood supply at the site, or with a bone scar where they saw it. The bone never comes back as it was. And the person ends up with this problem forever. Therefore, these osteotomy surgeries are dangerous and should be prohibited. It puts an end to people's health. In my opinion, who has a foot like this, should stay like that, with a flat foot. Just wear a shoe with a little jump that already gives a good relief. It is normal to have your foot like this. But if the person is in pain because of this, it is better to use orthoses or do physical therapy or use a bandage on the plantar fascia of the foot, which is the one that bends or flattens the foot more. If it is more elongated, the foot is flatter, and if it is more shortened, because of the strengthening of this region, the foot is more curved. Don't do this surgery, it will end your health and life, just like me. Health is very important and very precious. What I'm going through and suffering every day because of that is enough. With Anthony blackfoot surgery, they do the same thing, only in reverse. They saw half the heel too, but instead of putting it 1 cm in, just like in flat foot surgery, they put it 1 cm out. That is, the same thing happens as thing that in this surgery that I did. A hug.

In addition, I forgot to mention the other comment, like the bone where they move, they put it more inward, the nerves in that region leave the place and also go further inward. Then you just start to feel negative things and you don’t feel good things like the person did before doing that. Both in the environment and in your body, because the nerves leave their original place and sink. And they never go back to normal, unless they go back in place, undoing the surgery. But this surgery cannot be undone, unless the screws are still on your heels and you sit on the floor squatting and force your heel on the floor, so that the heel goes out again. That as the bone doesn’t stick any better and sometimes slips, it will slide out, more to its original place than before. But the bone never sticks right. Without the screws, you can't do that. Whenever you hear the word osteotomy, avoid these surgeries, if it won't be a problem later. Hugs.

@@tiagot6516 Isn't the cavus surgery addressed here the exact OPPOSITE of flat-footed surgery? In which country did you have your surgery done?

[@tiagot6516]

Hi, how are you? I live in Brazil and I made the mistake of having the surgery here too. I'm really bad. I'm not even able to walk properly anymore. A hug.
