What do Foot & Ankle Surgery Podiatrists do?
Podiatrists specializing in foot and ankle surgery diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions using both surgical and non-surgical methods.
They perform procedures such as bunion and hammertoe correction, fracture repair, and ankle ligament reconstruction to address issues like sports injuries, arthritis, deformities, heel pain, and ingrown toenails.
Surgical and non-surgical treatments
Surgical treatment: They perform operations like bunionectomies to realign toes, fracture repair to fix broken bones, and ankle ligament reconstruction to address instability from sprains. Other surgeries may include ankle fusions or replacements for severe arthritis, as well as tendon repairs and soft-tissue reconstruction.
Non-surgical treatment: They also provide conservative treatments such as medication, orthotics, and physical therapy to address conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendon disorders, and sports injuries.
Conditions treated
Deformities: Bunions, hammertoes, flatfoot, and clubfoot.
Trauma: Fractures and broken bones, sprains, and tendon ruptures.
Degenerative conditions: ankle and foot arthritis.
Nerve and skin issues: Neuromas, ingrown toenails, warts, and diabetic foot ulcers.
Pain syndromes: Heel pain (plantar fasciitis), and general foot and ankle pain.
Education and qualifications
