Rheumatoid Toe Deformities: Walk the Very Next Day

Rheumatoid arthritis is not just a disease of the hands — it is one of the most disabling conditions affecting the feet and toes, leading to severe deformities, pain, and loss of mobility. When left untreated, it can twist and distort the great toe and smaller toes, making walking extremely painful.

At Fortis Hospital Mohali, under the expertise of Dr. Chandan Narang, advanced surgical techniques have made it possible for patients suffering from rheumatoid toe deformities to walk the very next day after surgery — a true breakthrough in foot and ankle reconstruction.

Understanding Rheumatoid Toe Deformities

Rheumatoid arthritis causes inflammation in the small joints of the forefoot, damaging cartilage and weakening ligaments. This leads to:

• Great toe drifting outward (hallux valgus)
• Smaller toes curling or overlapping (claw or hammer toes)
• Painful corns and callosities under the foot
• Difficulty wearing shoes and imbalance while walking

These deformities not only affect appearance but also significantly impair function and confidence.

Dr. Chandan Narang’s Expertise

Dr. Chandan Narang, the region’s first exclusive Foot and Ankle Surgeon, has performed numerous successful reconstructions for rheumatoid foot deformities. His expertise includes:

• Precision alignment correction of the great toe and lesser toes
• Minimally invasive techniques that reduce tissue trauma
• Anatomical joint reconstruction preserving natural movement
• Rapid rehabilitation protocols allowing patients to walk within 24 hours after surgery

By combining advanced instrumentation, meticulous surgical planning, and post-operative physiotherapy, Dr. Narang ensures patients regain not just comfort — but mobility and confidence.

Walk the Very Next Day: A Breakthrough Approach

Traditional rheumatoid foot surgeries required long periods of immobilization and delayed walking.
At Fortis Mohali, Dr. Narang’s modern techniques focus on early mobilization, meaning:

• No prolonged plaster or bed rest
• Special post-operative footwear for immediate ambulation
• Faster pain recovery and improved joint stability

Patients are often amazed to be able to stand and take steps the very next day, marking a new era in foot and ankle surgery outcomes.
