Risk factors for foot and ankle issues
Although foot problems at birth are uncommon, you may experience discomfort in your feet at some point in life. This outcome can often result from neglect, improper care or wearing ill-fitting shoes. You might be more likely to naturally develop a foot or ankle condition because of:
- Diseases, such as diabetes
- Excess weight
- Injuries
Our nonsurgical treatments
Not all foot and ankle conditions require surgery. In some situations, our team is able to use other methods to provide the care you need, such as:
- Bracing
- Injections
- Orthotics
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Surgeries we perform
Our orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons complete a variety of procedures, such as:
- Arthroscopy — Involves inserting a tube with a tiny camera and light into the ankle joint, allowing us to diagnose and repair conditions affecting the ligaments, bones, cartilage or tendons
- Bunionectomy — Removes a bunion from your foot and realigns your toes to prevent future growth
- Fusion surgery — Improves stability by attaching two bones through midfoot, subtalar or transfibular ankle fusion procedures
- Ligament and tendon repair and reconstruction — Repairs sprains and strains in the ankle and foot
- Open reduction and fixation — Realigns and holds a broken bone in place using internal fixtures, such as rods or wires
