Foot Surgery in Benalmádena
Foot surgery consultations in Arroyo de la Miel
Dr Alf Neuhaus assesses and treats a range of foot conditions, including hammer or claw toe deformities, bunions and hallux valgus, and arthritis affecting the mid-foot or ankle.
Some hammer or claw toe procedures may be suitable under local anaesthesia using the facilities of Clínica Sandalf, without hospital admission. When same-day discharge is appropriate, preparation, weight-bearing advice, wound care and return to activity are explained before and after the procedure. Recovery time varies according to the operation and individual circumstances.
A bunion is commonly associated with hallux valgus, where the big toe moves towards the other toes. The recommended treatment depends on symptoms, severity, examination and imaging. Some procedures may be performed under local anaesthesia, while more extensive bone realignment may require general or spinal/epidural anaesthesia at a nearby private hospital.
When bone realignment is required, a protective boot may be recommended for several weeks. The timing of weight-bearing, removal of the boot and return to daily or sporting activities depends on the procedure and progress at follow-up.
After hospital discharge, follow-up may include wound review, suture removal, X-rays and gait training through the clinic’s physiotherapy service.
Other foot and ankle procedures described by the service include surgery for arthritis of the mid-foot and ankle, including fusion or, in selected cases, joint replacement. The appropriate option is discussed after individual assessment.
Funding and insurance eligibility vary by country, provider and individual policy. Patients should confirm current cover directly with their insurer before arranging treatment.

Private hospital care
When foot surgery requires hospital care, the procedure is carried out at a nearby private hospital with operating theatres, inpatient rooms and appropriate clinical support. Hospital arrangements and the expected stay are discussed before the operation.
Postoperative reviews may include wound care, pain management, imaging, mobilisation and gait training. Follow-up care can continue through Clínica Sandalf after hospital discharge.
