Dear Helon,

This Orthopedic Chicago Podiatrist located in West Loop 60661,Roscoe Village 60618, Elmhurst 60126 & Bartlett 60103 says...
When there are failed foot surgeries involved-you need to see a podiatrist who specializes in these kind of cases. Seek a consult from a Board Certified Podiatrist who has done reconstructive foot & ankle surgery-like the podiatrists at AnkleNFootCenters.com-who are specialists in orthopedics & surgery of the foot & ankle.
Good Luck!
