Welcome! We invite you to experience the Forest Health Medical Center difference!

FHMC is different from either a general medical hospital or a large university medical center. We provide you with specialty surgery and personal care by the best specialty surgeons and staff.

Just like the major medical centers we have the latest modern equipment and facilities, but that is not what makes us different. The personal care you will receive is unlike the typical impersonal healthcare offered in most large university medical centers. At FHMC we are committed to caring for you as our family.

Arthrodesis Tarsometatarsal Foot Joint

Fusion of the tarsometatarsal joint (at the forefoot) is most often performed due to painful arthritis that is not responsive to non-surgical treatment. It may involve one or more joints. After the joint(s) is removed, screws are used to hold the bones in proper position, as the bones heal, they are fused together.
