Foot and Ankle

Orthopedic care of the foot and ankle is a very extensive and complex medical field, which has made significant advances in the past 20 years. This includes both surgical and non-surgical care of the foot and ankle.

We can separate the care of the foot and ankle injuries into categories. The first would be traumatic injuries to the foot and ankle, which would consist of sprains, strains and fractures. The second category would be mechanical deformities of the foot which would include common things such as heel spurs, bunions, toe deformities and nerve entrapment.

Orthopedic care of the foot begins in the youngster with the treatment of static foot deformity such as club foot. The adolescent one is mostly treating encounters of sprains and also traumatic injuries.
