Foot & Ankle

The foot and ankle are intricate parts of the body, crucial for mobility and stability. Comprising numerous bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, they work together to support body weight and facilitate movement. These structures allow for various motions like dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, and eversion. Specialists diagnose and treat a wide array of conditions affecting these areas, including fractures, sprains, arthritis, deformities, and sports injuries, employing both surgical and nonsurgical interventions to restore function and alleviate pain. Effective management of foot and ankle issues is essential for maintaining overall mobility and quality of life.

Ankle Arthroscopy

Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat conditions like anterior ankle impingement. It involves inserting a tiny camera called an arthroscope through small incisions to visualize and treat issues in the ankle joint. Surgeons can identify and remove irritated tissue, including bone spurs, using specialized tools while viewing the procedure on a TV screen. Recovery typically involves wearing a splint, using crutches initially, gradually increasing weight-bearing over a few weeks, and undergoing rehabilitation exercises to regain ankle function.

Ankle Ligament reconstruction surgery

Ankle ligament reconstruction tightens the lateral ligaments of the ankle, often due to chronic instability from frequent sprains. Surgery is considered for active patients not responding to non-surgical treatments like physical therapy. The procedure evaluates ligament quality, using either tightened patient ligaments or allograft tendon reinforcement. It's highly effective, enabling patients to resume activities limited by ankle instability.

Arthroscopic Ankle fusion

Ankle fusion, also known as ankle arthrodesis, is a surgical procedure where the bones of the ankle joint are permanently fused together. This is typically done to alleviate severe arthritis or joint instability that hasn't responded to other treatments. During the procedure, the damaged cartilage in the ankle joint is removed, and the bones are then positioned and held together with screws or plates until they grow together, forming a solid, stable joint. Ankle fusion can help reduce pain and improve function in the ankle, although it limits motion in the joint.

Ankle fusion, or arthrodesis, treats arthritis, injuries, or joint deterioration by permanently joining ankle bones to alleviate pain and stabilize the joint, though it limits motion.

Ankle fusion addresses severe foot deformities like flat foot, high-arched foot, or club foot, stabilizing the ankle joint when it's deformed, unstable, or damaged.

Achilles tendon rupture

Achilles tendon repair surgery addresses damage to the Achilles tendon, the largest tendon in the body connecting calf muscles to the heel, crucial for walking, running, and jumping. Injury can occur from sudden force or repetitive stress, leading to tendon tears or degeneration known as tendinitis or tendinopathy. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and limited foot movement. Surgery may be necessary to repair a tear or address severe degeneration, restoring tendon function and alleviating symptoms.

Flat foot reconstruction

Flatfoot reconstruction is a combination of surgical procedures that repair the foot’s ligaments and tendons and correct deformities of the bones to restore and support the arch. These adjustments can reduce pain and help the patient return to an active life.

Foot fusion

Foot fusion surgery is carried out to permanently join or stiffen the joint between arthritic bones. It is used to treat a wide range of conditions including arthritis, flat feet, rheumatoid arthritis and previous injuries such as fractures caused by wear and tear to bones and cartilage.

Big toe fusion

In big toe fusion surgery, a small incision exposes the arthritic joint. Bone spurs and cartilage are removed, and the joint surface is prepared to stimulate healing. Plates and screws are then used to hold the joint in place, promoting fusion into one solid bone.

Foot and ankle surgeries, such as Achilles tendon repair, ankle fusion, and big toe fusion, play crucial roles in addressing various conditions, from tendon injuries to arthritis-induced deformities. These procedures aim to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve quality of life for patients experiencing mobility issues due to foot and ankle problems. Surgeons employ advanced techniques, including arthroscopy and fusion, to achieve successful outcomes, often with minimal recovery time.

These procedures underscore the importance of modern orthopedic interventions in restoring mobility and quality of life for individuals with foot and ankle issues.
