ADVANCED FOOT & ANKLE CARE

When it comes to foot and ankle conditions, an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon offers distinct advantages over a podiatrist. With specialized training in orthopedic surgery and a deep understanding of the musculoskeletal system, they are equipped to handle complex issues. Orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons can perform advanced surgical procedures and provide comprehensive care that considers the broader impact of conditions on the musculoskeletal system. Collaborating with other specialists, they ensure optimal outcomes. Selecting a fellowship-trained orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon ensures access to their expertise, comprehensive approach, and advanced surgical options, resulting in optimal treatment for your foot and ankle conditions.

COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF SERVICES

Our center offers a comprehensive array of foot and ankle surgeries, performed by experienced surgeons who stay at the forefront of medical advancements. Here are some of the types of surgeries we perform:

ANKLE ARTHROSCOPY

This minimally invasive procedure allows us to diagnose and treat various ankle conditions, including ligament tears, cartilage damage, and ankle impingement. It involves using a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions, resulting in faster recovery times and less scarring compared to traditional surgery.

ACHILLES TENDON REPAIR

Our surgeons are skilled in repairing Achilles tendon injuries, whether they are partial tears or complete ruptures. Using advanced techniques, we can reattach the torn ends of the tendon, promoting proper healing and restoring strength and function to the ankle.

BUNION SURGERY

Bunions can cause significant pain and deformity in the foot. Our experts perform bunionectomy procedures to realign the big toe, remove the bony prominence, and correct any associated deformities. We employ both traditional and minimally invasive techniques to achieve optimal results.

FRACTURE REPAIR

If you’ve suffered a foot or ankle fracture, our surgeons specialize in fracture repair procedures. With meticulous care, we realign the broken bones, often utilizing screws, plates, or rods to stabilize the fracture and promote proper healing.

LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION

Ankle instability resulting from ligament tears can be debilitating. We perform ligament reconstruction surgeries, using grafts or synthetic materials to repair or replace damaged ligaments, restoring stability to the ankle joint.

TOTAL ANKLE REPLACEMENT

For patients with severe arthritis or debilitating ankle pain, total ankle replacement offers a viable solution. Our skilled surgeons replace the damaged ankle joint with an artificial implant, aiming to relieve pain and improve mobility.

FLATFOOT RECONSTRUCTION

Flatfoot deformity can lead to foot pain, instability, and difficulty walking. Our surgical interventions include realigning and repairing the affected structures to restore the arch and improve overall foot function.

TENDON TRANSFER

When certain tendons are weak or damaged, tendon transfer surgery can help restore strength and stability. By transferring a healthy tendon from another part of the body, our surgeons can restore normal function and alleviate pain.
