Common Procedures
For those with chronic ankle instability or severe ligament damage, ankle ligament reconstruction stabilizes the ankle. This procedure tightens or replaces the damaged ligaments, reducing the risk of future injuries and giving you an ankle you can trust.
Ankle joint replacement is an excellent option for those suffering from severe arthritis in the ankle. This procedure involves replacing the damaged ankle joint with an artificial one, restoring mobility and reducing pain.
Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera to diagnose and treat issues within the ankle joint. This technique is used for various conditions, including cartilage damage, bone spurs, and bone fragments, promoting quicker recovery.
Achilles tendon repair is necessary when the tendon has been severely damaged or torn. Our surgeons carefully reattach or repair the tendon, helping you regain strength and function in your ankle.
Our minimally invasive bunion surgery is designed to correct bunions with less pain and faster recovery times. This advanced procedure realigns the bones in your foot, reducing the bump and relieving discomfort.
Similar to bunion surgery, bunionette surgery addresses a painful bump on the outside of your foot near the little toe. This surgery alleviates discomfort and corrects the bone alignment, allowing you to walk pain-free again.
Bunionectomy is a surgical procedure to remove bunions. This surgery involves realigning the bones of the foot to correct the deformity and alleviate pain, enabling you to move comfortably once more.
Common Conditions Leading to Foot & Ankle Surgery
A ruptured Achilles tendon often requires surgical repair to restore full function. This condition, typically caused by a sudden injury, is effectively treated by repairing the tendon, ensuring a smooth recovery.
Midfoot arthritis results from wear and tear or injury to the joints in the middle of the foot. Surgical options like joint fusion can alleviate pain and restore function, allowing you to walk with ease again.
Ankle fractures, often caused by severe injuries, often require prompt surgical intervention to reposition the bones and repair any associated damage. This ensures a smoother recovery and return to normal activities.
Plantar fasciitis causes severe heel pain due to inflammation of the tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes. When conservative treatments are not effective, injections and minimally invasive procedures can provide significant relief.
Bunions are painful bumps on the side of the big toe, often requiring surgery for relief. A bunionectomy or minimally invasive bunion surgery can correct this deformity, allowing you to walk comfortably again.
Heel fractures can be extremely painful and may require surgery to heal properly. Our surgical treatments aim to realign the bone, ensuring proper healing and reducing the risk of long-term complications.
Chronic ankle instability often results from repeated ankle sprains. Surgical reconstruction of the ankle ligaments can stabilize the joint, preventing further injuries and improving your overall mobility.
Ankle rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects the joints, causing pain and stiffness. When conservative treatments fail, surgery such as ankle joint replacement can significantly improve your quality of life.
