It is a space directed by the expert in biomechanics and surgery of the foot Raúl Ramos, endowed with the latest technology and with spacious rooms for the treatment of podiatry and biomechanics pathologies, an X-ray room, a pre-surgical area, an outpatient surgery area and a post-surgical recovery area.

Here they are made foot interventions on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia, where the patient can walk home a few hours after the intervention. Among other pathologies, Olavide Podoactiva bunions, tailor's bunion, claw toes, metatarsalgia, Morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis, calcaneal spur, ingrown toenail, hammer toe, infant flat foot and adult flat foot, Hallux rigidus, foot osteoarthritis or exostosis are intervened.

The center is also equipped with fluoroscopy system (interventional radiology system in real time) for the diagnosis and treatment of all types of bone pathologies, and an ultrasound machine for the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue injuries.

The clinic has the analysis system Younext 4D to record the sports gesture in high performance tests or biomechanical analysis of the foot or gait in cases of special complexity.

Biomechanical studies of the gait or footprint are the initial studies that allow diagnosing possible pathologies or dysfunctions, and prescribing custom templates if they are required for corrective treatments.
