Let’s look at just a small sample of the many procedures your foot and ankle surgeon can perform to help you:

If you have arthritis in your ankles, feet, or toes–arthritis limits movement in the joints, causing stiffness and loss of mobility. In severe cases, arthritis can lead to joint destruction. Your foot and ankle surgeon can perform surgery to:

• Repair the joint
• Realign bones
• Fuse the joint
• Replace the joint

If you have diabetes–your feet and toes may have lack of sufficient blood flow, which can lead to tissue death. Nerve impairment can also lead to loss of sensation, so you may experience an injury and not feel it. Your foot and ankle surgeon can perform surgery to:

• Treat a diabetic ulcer so it can heal
• Repair damaged nerves
• Remove diseased or dead tissue

If you have plantar fasciitis–you may experience heel and Achilles tendon pain which can be severe and limit your ability to walk. Your foot and ankle surgeon can perform surgery to:

• Release the affected tendon

If you have an ankle or foot fracture–damaged bones can lead to inability to put weight on your feet or ankles. Your foot and ankle surgeon can perform surgery to:

• Repair damaged bones
• Realign dislocated bones

Your foot and ankle surgeon can also perform surgery for a wide variety of common podiatry issues including bunions, hammertoe, warts, and more.
