Failed Foot & Ankle Procedures in Brighton, MI

If a previous foot or ankle surgery didn’t give you the results you hoped for, you’re not alone — and you’re not out of options. Persistent pain, deformity, or instability following a procedure doesn’t mean you have to live that way. Revisional surgery exists precisely for situations like yours, and Dr. Castelein has extensive experience helping patients find the relief they were originally seeking.

Foot and ankle surgery is uniquely challenging due to the size of the structures involved, the constant demands placed on the foot, and the many variables that affect surgical outcomes. Dr. Castelein takes the time to fully understand what happened, what was previously attempted, and what your goals are before developing a comprehensive plan forward.

Conservative Treatment

Before recommending surgery, Dr. Castelein reviews advanced imaging — X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans — alongside your full medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle needs to understand the complete picture. In many cases, non-surgical options can meaningfully reduce symptoms, including custom orthotics, injections, physical therapy, at-home exercises, advanced bracing, and targeted footwear recommendations.

  • Repairing or repositioning tendons or ligaments
  • Removing misaligned or damaged joint surfaces

  • Osteotomies to alter bone shape
  • Exchanging implants

Dr. Castelein is great; he is very nice, patient, and professional. His staff is also excellent and friendly. It's only been about three hours since having my big toenail removed and, with acetaminophen and ibuprofen, there is very little pain(sometimes I completely forget about it); he did an excellent job. Overall, I am very impressed with Dr. Casteleins Practice and I would highly recommend his office.

Friendly staff and intelligent doctor! I went in for some ankle X-rays and was given a great strategy on the different ways to heal my ankle, and how to progress forward if less invasive treatment doesn't help. I would highly recommend them to anyone with foot or ankle problems!
