Ankle Joint Replacement

Ankle Joint Replacement

Ankle joint replacement, also known as total ankle arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to relieve pain and immobility due to severe end-stage arthritis that has not responded to non-surgical treatments. The goal of ankle joint replacement surgery is to eliminate your pain and increase the mobility of your ankle joint.

Ankle Arthroscopy

Ankle Arthroscopy

Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an arthroscope, a small, soft, flexible tube with a light and video camera at the end, is inserted into the ankle joint to evaluate and treat a variety of conditions.

Achilles Tendon Repair

Achilles Tendon Repair

Tendons are the soft tissues connecting muscle to bone. The Achilles tendon is the longest tendon in the body and is present behind the ankle, joining the calf muscles with the heel bone. Contraction of the calf muscles

Ankle Ligament Reconstruction

Ankle Ligament Reconstruction

Ankle ligament reconstruction may be performed arthroscopically under general anesthesia. Your surgeon will make small incisions in your ankle. A tiny camera and a few special instruments are inserted through the incisions to repair and strengthen the ligaments.

Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery

Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery

Minimally invasive foot surgery (MIFS) uses the latest advanced technology to treat foot and ankle pain caused by a variety of conditions. Special surgical instruments, devices, and advanced imaging techniques are used to visualize and perform the surgery through small incisions.

Treatment of Foot and Ankle Sports Injuries

Treatment of Foot and Ankle Sports Injuries

Injuries during sports are common. They can result from accidents, inadequate training, improper use of protective devices, or insufficient stretching or warm-up exercises. Injuries to the foot and ankle are common while playing sports such as football, hockey, skating and in weekend athletes.

Ankle Instability Surgery

Ankle Instability Surgery

Ankle instability is a chronic condition characterized by the recurrent slipping of the outer side of the ankle. Instability is generally noticed during movement of the ankle joint, but can also occur while standing.

Metatarsal Surgery

Metatarsal Surgery

Metatarsal surgery is a surgical procedure performed on the metatarsal bones, the long bones in the feet that connect to the toe bones. It is usually performed to correct a bunion deformity and is mainly done on the first metatarsal bone behind the big toe.

Revision Foot and Ankle Surgery

Revision Foot and Ankle Surgery

Foot and ankle surgery is performed when injuries or conditions are severe and conservative treatment methods are inadequate. It may involve repairing, realigning, or reconstructing structures in the foot and ankle. The procedure is safe and outcomes are generally good, but occasionally failure may occur due to various reasons.

Tendon Transfer

Tendon Transfer

In a tendon transfer procedure, a healthy tendon is transferred to replace the damaged tendon and restore the normal movement of the foot.

Bunion Prevention

Bunion Prevention

A bunion, also known as hallux valgus, is a condition characterized by a bony extension that develops at the base of the big toe due to the misalignment of the metatarsal bones or by the formation of additional bone in this area.

Internal and External Fixation of Foot and Ankle Fractures

Internal and External Fixation of Foot and Ankle Fractures

Foot and ankle fractures are breaks or cracks in any bone of your foot and ankle joint. Fixation of fractures is a surgical method of reconnecting the broken or cracked bones and fixing them in the correct place using orthopedic hardware.

Neurolysis

Neurolysis

Neurolysis is a procedure that involves injecting chemical agents into nerve fibers to reduce nerve pain by destroying the damaged nerves. These agents degenerate the nerve fibers blocking the transmission of pain signals.

Heel Surgery

Heel Surgery

Heel surgery is a procedure performed to treat heel pain and loss of motion that is caused due to injury, inflammation, and irritation of the foot muscles, bones, or the connective tissue attached to the heel.

Anterior Tibialis Tendon Repair

Anterior Tibialis Tendon Repair

Anterior tibialis tendon repair is a surgery performed to repair a torn or ruptured anterior tibialis tendon. The rupture may occur as a result of a degenerative change or a traumatic event where the ankle and foot are pulled down and outwards forcefully, which in turn maximally stretches the tendon, causing it to rupture.

Posterior Tibialis Tendon Repair

Posterior Tibialis Tendon Repair

Posterior tibialis tendon repair is a surgery performed to repair an injured or torn posterior tibialis tendon. The tear may occur as a result of a fall or break/dislocation of the ankle. The surgery may also be performed for chronic inflammation of the posterior tibialis tendon due to overuse.

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of the Foot

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of the Foot

Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the foot is a surgical procedure performed to repair serious fractures (broken bones) of the foot that cannot be fixed with a splint or a cast.

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of the Ankle

Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of the Ankle

Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the ankle is a surgical procedure performed to repair serious fractures (broken bones) of the ankle. It is performed on one or more of the three bones that form the ankle joint.

Cheilectomy

Cheilectomy

A cheilectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removal of excess bone called bone spurs from the joint at the base of the big toe. It is mainly performed to treat hallux rigidus (big toe stiffness and pain) due to arthritis.

Achilles Tendinitis Treatment

Achilles Tendinitis Treatment

Achilles tendinitis is the inflammation and irritation to the Achilles tendon, a strong fibrous cord present behind the ankle that connects your calf muscles to the heel bone. Certain activities can cause an overuse

Foot Orthotics

Foot Orthotics

Foot orthotics also known as orthoses are specially designed supportive shoe inserts worn against the foot to relieve pain, provide protection, and treat foot or ankle deformities.

Shockwave Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis

Shockwave Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis

Shockwave treatment, also known as Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT), is a conservative procedure to treat plantar fasciitis of the foot, where shockwaves are passed through the heel to stimulate healing of the inflamed plantar fascia tissues.

Foot Rehabilitation Following Surgery

Foot Rehabilitation Following Surgery

A foot injury or foot surgery may leave you immobile for a period of time. To return to your regular activities and more strenuous recreational activities, it is necessary for you to follow a well-planned activity and exercise program.

Foot Injections

Foot Injections

Foot injections are steroids that are injected into your foot to relieve pain and inflammation. Cortisol is a hormone that is produced in the human body and functions to reduce stress and inflammation. Steroids are synthetic drugs that resemble cortisol and are used in treating joint pain.

Foot and Ankle Conditioning Programs

Foot and Ankle Conditioning Programs

A foot injury or foot surgery can leave you immobile for a period of time. To return to your regular activities and more strenuous recreational activities, it is necessary for you to follow a well-planned activity and exercise-conditioning program.

Foot and Ankle Examination

Foot and Ankle Examination

Foot and Ankle conditions typically occur due to injury of the muscles, ligaments or bones, due to aging, or certain disorders including gout, bunion, arthritis, claw toes, bursitis, hammertoes, stress fracture, etc.

Foot and Ankle Rehabilitation

Foot and Ankle Rehabilitation

The foot is composed of different structures including bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. As the feet bear the weight of our body, they are more prone to injury and pain. A foot injury or foot surgery may leave you immobile for a period of time.

Non-Surgical Treatment for Foot and Ankle Pain

Non-Surgical Treatment for Foot and Ankle Pain

The foot is composed of different structures including bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. As the feet bear the weight of our body, they are more prone to injury and pain. Normally, foot pain can be treated with home treatments but may take time to heal.
