Common Procedures
Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a tiny camera to look inside and treat problems in your ankle joint. This technique can be helpful for issues like cartilage damage or bone spurs and often leads to a quicker recovery.
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.
For those with chronic ankle instability or severe ligament damage, ankle ligament reconstruction can provide much-needed stability. This procedure tightens or replaces damaged ligaments, reducing the chance of future injuries.
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.
Bunionette surgery addresses a painful bump near your little toe, similar to bunion surgery. By correcting the bone alignment, this procedure helps you walk comfortably again.
If you’re dealing with severe arthritis in your ankle, an ankle joint replacement might be the right option for you. This procedure involves replacing the worn-out ankle joint with an artificial one, helping you move more easily and feel less pain.
A bunionectomy is a surgery to remove bunions. By realigning the bones in your foot, this procedure helps to correct the deformity and relieve pain, allowing you to move more comfortably.
Common Conditions Leading to Surgery
A ruptured Achilles tendon usually requires surgery to regain full function. This injury, often caused by a sudden movement, can be effectively treated through tendon repair.
Midfoot arthritis often comes from wear and tear or injury to the joints in the middle of your foot. Surgical options like joint fusion can help reduce pain and restore function, making it easier for you to walk.
Bunions are painful bumps on the side of the big toe that often require surgery to relieve discomfort. Procedures like a bunionectomy or minimally invasive bunion surgery can correct the deformity, helping you walk comfortably again.
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain due to inflammation of the tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes. If other treatments aren’t working, injections and minimally invasive procedures can offer significant relief.
Chronic ankle instability often results from repeated sprains. Surgical reconstruction of the ankle ligaments can help stabilize your ankle, preventing future injuries and improving your mobility.
Ankle fractures, often the result of significant injuries, usually need prompt surgical attention to set the bones and repair any damage. This can lead to a smoother recovery and a quicker return to your regular activities.
Heel fractures can be very painful and sometimes require surgery to heal correctly. Our approach aims to realign the bone, promote proper healing, and reduce the chances of long-term issues.
Ankle rheumatoid arthritis is a condition that causes pain and stiffness in your joints. When other treatments aren’t enough, surgery, such as ankle joint replacement, can help improve your comfort and mobility.
