Treatments for Foot and Ankle Injuries

When we can, we start with conservative treatments, such as:

  • Medication to reduce pain, inflammation, or swelling.
  • Injections that relieve pain, such as epidural steroid injections.
  • Custom-molded shoe inserts that offer personalized support and comfort.

Foot and Ankle Surgeries We Perform

Some injuries and conditions need more intervention, including surgery. Common procedures include:

  • Arthroscopy: Doctors make tiny incisions and use a tool called an arthroscope, which contains a tiny camera, to examine or repair damaged tissue. Surgeons can also use arthroscopy to repair ankle instability, relieve ankle arthritis, and treat a variety of other foot and ankle conditions.
  • Foot and ankle surgery: For conditions that affect the structure and shape of the foot, we may shorten, lengthen, or straighten the toe or other bones in the foot. We also correct foot deformities, hammer toe, neuromas, and fracture-related problems such as ankle fracture fixation.
  • Tendon and ligament repair surgery: We can repair torn or injured tendons and ligaments with surgery, such as Achilles tendon reconstruction or repair and lateral ligamentous reconstruction. These types of surgeries can relieve pain, improve range of motion, and strengthen the foot and ankle.
