Calcaneal Fractures
Calcaneal Fractures
Calcaneal fractures present challenges for active individuals, impacting their ability to wear shoes and causing chronic pain. These fractures can also have negative effects on careers due to the complexity of the calcaneus bone and the surrounding soft tissue, which complicates treatment.
While some calcaneal fractures can be treated without surgery, severe cases often necessitate surgical intervention. However, traditional open surgery carries significant risks, such as deep infections, wound reopening, and even potential amputation.
Fortunately, there have been significant advancements in surgical techniques that allow for minimally invasive treatments. Although this innovative approach is currently practiced by only a limited number of surgeons in our country, I have introduced and regularly perform these operations in our region. As a result, we have observed improved outcomes and a notable decrease in major complications.
I am actively teaching my colleagues this technique to raise awareness and knowledge of this innovative approach among a wider audience.

EXCELLENT Based on 17 reviews Posted on Becky BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve suffered with bunion pain since childhood and was always told it was something I would simply have to manage until it became severe enough to require surgery. I was also warned that surgery could reduce my mobility and impact my active lifestyle, which made me reluctant to explore it further. In my 30s, I decided to revisit my options and booked an appointment with Mr Akimau. From our first consultation, he immediately understood my frustration. He clearly explained the cause of my pain and more importantly, reassured me that it could be treated using a minimally invasive technique. The procedure and recovery were explained thoroughly, which gave me real confidence in moving forward. I’m so glad I did. The results have been incredible; I’m back at the gym, walking and running completely pain free. An added bonus is how much better my foot looks as well. I can’t thank Mr Akimau enough for the care, skill and professionalism he showed before, during and after surgery. When the time comes to have my other foot treated, I won’t hesitate to return to him.Posted on Tracy RobertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Excellent, treated with curtesy and respect, Mr Akimau performed my surgery which corrected my foot deformity, I am very pleased with the results and would certainly consider having the other foot done if the need arises. His aftercare was very thorough and I certainly would recommend the surgery. Thank you Mr Pavel AkimauPosted on silvia millerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic results after surgery. I have gone from having a very deformed foot to having a foot that looks like a foot and I can walk on. Dr Akimau has performed a miracle. Highly recommend.
