Our Foot and Ankle Orthopedic Surgery Options
At GMS Cyprus, we offer a comprehensive range of foot and ankle orthopedic surgeries, designed to address everything from acute injuries to chronic conditions and deformities. Our goal is to help patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to their daily lives with confidence. Here are the key surgical options available:
Ankle Fusion
Ankle fusion, also known as ankle arthrodesis, is a surgical procedure used to relieve pain caused by severe arthritis or deformity. By fusing the bones of the ankle joint, this procedure eliminates painful movement while preserving the ability to bear weight. It is an effective option for patients with advanced joint degeneration who are not candidates for total ankle replacement.
Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic foot and ankle surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that allows our surgeons to diagnose and treat joint problems through small incisions. Using a tiny camera and specialized instruments, we treat conditions like ankle impingement, loose bodies, ligament injuries, and early arthritis, resulting in faster recovery and less postoperative pain compared to open surgery.
Bunion Surgery
Bunion surgery corrects hallux valgus, a common deformity where the big toe angles toward the second toe, causing pain and swelling. Our surgeons perform minimally invasive and traditional bunion surgeries, focusing on realigning the bones and restoring normal foot function. We customize each procedure to the severity of the bunion for optimal cosmetic and functional outcomes.
Foot and Ankle Fusion (Arthrodesis)
Foot and ankle fusion, also known as arthrodesis, is used to relieve pain and improve stability in severely damaged joints, often due to arthritis, deformity, or trauma. By permanently joining two or more bones, this surgery eliminates painful motion and creates a more stable joint, allowing patients to walk with reduced pain and better balance.
Heel Pain Surgery
Chronic heel pain, often caused by plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, or nerve entrapment, can be treated surgically when conservative therapies fail. Our heel pain surgeries focus on relieving tension in the plantar fascia, removing bone spurs, or releasing trapped nerves, offering long-term relief and restoring comfort during walking and standing.
Hindfoot Fusion
Hindfoot fusion surgery is performed to correct severe deformities and arthritis in the back (hindfoot) section of the foot, including the subtalar, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid joints. This procedure helps stabilize the foot, relieve pain, and improve function in patients with flatfoot, severe arthritis, and post-traumatic deformities.
Minimally Invasive Foot and Ankle Surgery
Our minimally invasive foot and ankle surgeries use tiny incisions and specialized instruments to treat a variety of conditions, such as bunion correction, bone spur removal, and tendon repairs. These techniques minimize tissue damage, reduce postoperative pain, and promote faster healing, making them an ideal choice for eligible patients.
Minimally Invasive Stiff Big Toe Surgery
Stiff big toe, or hallux rigidus, is a form of arthritis that affects the joint at the base of the big toe, causing pain and limited motion. We offer minimally invasive surgical options to remove bone spurs and improve joint function, reducing downtime and helping patients return to normal activities more quickly.
Tendon Transfer
Tendon transfer surgery is used to restore function and balance to the foot and ankle when tendons are damaged or no longer functional due to injury or neurological conditions. By repositioning healthy tendons to take over the function of damaged ones, we help improve movement, correct deformities, and enhance stability.
Total Ankle Replacement Surgery
Total ankle replacement (TAR) is an advanced surgical option for patients with severe ankle arthritis who seek to maintain joint motion. This procedure involves replacing the damaged ankle joint with a prosthetic implant, relieving pain while preserving more natural movement compared to ankle fusion. Our expert surgeons use state-of-the-art implants and techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes and improved quality of life.
Understanding Ankle Fusion Surgery at GMS Cyprus
Ankle fusion (arthrodesis) is a procedure that permanently connects the bones of the ankle joint to eliminate painful movement and stabilize the joint. It is most commonly used to treat severe arthritis, post-traumatic damage, and deformities that make walking difficult.

FAQ About Ankle Fusion
Ankle fusion is a surgical procedure that fuses the bones of the ankle to eliminate pain and improve stability in patients with severe arthritis, deformity, or injury.
Recovery typically takes 3 to 6 months. Patients may need to avoid putting weight on the foot for 6 to 12 weeks, followed by a gradual return to normal activities with physical therapy.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia to ensure no pain during surgery. Post-surgical pain is managed effectively with medications and usually decreases significantly as healing progresses.
Possible risks include infection, delayed bone healing, blood clots, nerve injury, and the need for additional surgeries. At GMS Cyprus, we take every precaution to minimize risks.
Yes, we provide a comprehensive rehabilitation plan, including physical therapy and ongoing monitoring, to ensure proper healing and return to function.

Testimonials
After a consultation with Dr. Amir, I was surprised to learn that my health insurance does not guarantee that he will be the surgeon to perform the procedure.
That is when I contacted GMS, who explained how I could have the surgery performed by the physician of my choice - which gave me peace of mind.
It is very important for me to share my experience as the service I received through GMS exceeded any similar experience in Israel:
From the beginning I was assigned a GMS representative from Israel, who explained in detail what my experience would be and answered all my questions about the operation and the treatment process. (Thanks, Roy!)
All I had to do was fill out the application form.
GMS representatives took care of everything themselves!
They contacted the insurance company on my behalf and even had them check the status of the application until the financial commitment for the surgery was received.
We agreed with on the surgical date, booked the flights at a convenient time for me and also dealt with the hotel reservation. The GMS staff even reviewed the menu and took any dietary restrictions into consideration on my behalf.
We were picked up from the airport in Larnaca, Cyprus where we met the wonderful Oria, who accompanied us throughout the entire visit and took care of every detail; from registration to preparation for the operation.
This is essentially a VIP service that made the entire experience relaxed and stress free. The assigned coordinators continued caring after my return to Israel. They were interested in my recuperation post operatively and also ensured all financial matters were dealt with; all this, by the way, without any commissions or payouts on my part, but directly with my insurance. In a word - an amazing experience! In short - I recommend it!
Thank to GMS, thank you Roy, thank you Uriah and thank you Dr. Oron.
I needed a unique procedure which is not performed in Israel and I turned to them.
Over a telephone conversation with GMS representative Roy, I felt caring attention and confidence that he would help in everything. He accompanied us throughout the entire process, before the flight and even after.
In addition to Roy, we would like to sincerely thank Oriya, our allocated Israeli speaking patient coordinator of the company in Cyprus.
Even before our departure, Oriya was in touch with us helping with any issues and made sure that we arrived fully prepared - taking into account the smallest details; even to the point of finding out our food preferences, and despite the late hour of our arrival at the hotel, she ensured an exquisite meal was waiting for us in the room. Oriya greeted us upon arrival and truly made us feel like we were her personal guests. She accompanied us throughout the entire day of the operation - attentively, with endless care and continued patience.
I felt like I had a good friend with me in the hospital. This kind of treatment doesn’t happen very often... At the end of the day we parted, hugging each other, and Oriya gave recommendations on where to go and what to do in the time remaining before returning home.
I just don't have enough words to thank GMS and Oriya for everything. I can only recommend with a reassurance that those who need it should use their services.
Roy – thank you for your patience, quick responses (minutes!), availability, caring and clear explanations! You are inimitable! Oriya - you are amazing! Thank you for every smile, hug, help, guidance, explanation... really! You are simply amazing!
Every time I was asked by friends and family about the surgery, I immediately started talking about your amazing service! I felt warmth and love, and everyone who was with me felt the same! We never stop talking about you, and really, only good things!
You have entered our hearts! Thank you very much for everything! I hope to see you in the future, under different circumstances.
