NOB_Kamareddy: A media conference was held at the Yashoda Hospital OP Center in Kamareddy district headquarters.

Dr. Aditya Somayaji, Consultant Foot and Ankle Surgeon, Yashoda Hospitals, Hitec City, addressed the media and spoke about modern advancements in Foot & Ankle treatment.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Aditya Somayaji said that foot and heel problems are very common, but most people ignore them until the pain becomes severe. He said that conditions like heel pain, frequent ankle sprains, change in foot shape, sports injuries, and diabetic foot problems should not be dismissed as natural signs of aging.

If consulted at an early stage, major complications and permanent disability can be prevented, he added.

Dr. Somayaji highlighted the modern treatment options available at Yashoda Hospitals

Accurate Diagnosis: With advanced scanning techniques, problems can be detected early and treatment can be tailored to patient needs.
Minimally Invasive Surgeries: Many surgeries are now performed with small incisions, resulting in less pain and faster recovery.
3D Printing & Advanced Implants: Complex fractures, foot deformities and bone defects can be treated effectively with state-of-the-art implants and 3D printing technology.
Ankle Joint Replacement: Along with joint preserving surgeries, ankle replacement can restore normal walking for patients with severe arthritis.
Faster Rehabilitation: With modern physiotherapy protocols, patients can return to daily activities, work and sports quickly.

Precautions suggested by the doctor:

Wear footwear of correct size and with good support.
Diabetic patients must examine their feet daily without fail.
Do not ignore even minor pain or swelling and consult a doctor immediately.
