Orthopedic Center’s medical team has expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle diseases, whether resulting from accident, sports injury, physical activity, or pain caused by bone deformation and osteoarthritis. The expertise comes from an interdisciplinary team of orthopedic surgeons (foot and ankle specialists), rehabilitation physicians and other physicians, physical therapists, prosthetists, and nurses dedicated to providing integrated and effective patient care, whether surgery or a more conservative treatment is appropriate. Rehabilitation is provided via physical therapy.
Foot and ankle examination service
- We examine foot and ankle fractures and dislocations using state-of-the- art equipment such as low-profile titanium plates and screws and canulated headless screws, and we practice minimal invasive surgery such as for calcaneal fractures.
- We examine affected ligaments for foot and ankle injuries, such as acute ankle twists or ankle instability with ensuing pain. Torn Achilles tendons can be cured with functional treatments such as using semi-rigid ankle braces or CAM boots, and with surgery, which can be endoscopic (involving a small incision, fast recovery, and reduced chance of infection) and in open wound-style.
- We examine foot and ankle deformities such as flat feet, high arches, and toe deformities that cause pain while walking.
- We examine foot and ankle osteoarthritis and provide treatment via total ankle replacement, arthroscopic-assisted arthrodesis, or open surgery, depending on what is most appropriate for an individual patient.
