Assessment with ultrasound and imaging
An orthopedist-traumatologist assesses the foot and recommends further tests when needed.
- Orthopedic consultation: A specialist reviews the foot deformity and discusses care options.
- Ultrasound diagnostics: Ultrasound can form part of the assessment.
- Additional tests: Imaging and laboratory tests are arranged when indicated.
Hallux valgus treatment with Dr. Volodymyr Avilov
The orthopedics and traumatology team treats bunions, hammer toes, and foot calluses.
- Minimally invasive bunion surgery: The surgeon corrects the first metatarsal’s inward deviation and removes the bony growth. The clinic describes the initial recovery period as up to 3 days.
- Combined surgery under one anesthesia: Surgical teams can perform several procedures during one session. This can reduce time under anesthesia and shorten postoperative recovery.
- Conservative orthopedic care: Outpatient care can include consultation, indicated tests, non-surgical treatment, and rehabilitation.
Pain relief and rehabilitation after surgery
A medication blockade numbs the foot for about 12 hours. Afterward, ordinary pain relief medication is used.
Rehabilitation includes about 4 weeks in special Baruk footwear, followed by 2 weeks of physiotherapy and kinesiotherapy without it. DIEVO has a 24/7 inpatient unit and intensive care unit, HEPA-filtered operating rooms, and a same-day discharge option.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss assessment and treatment options.
