About Foot & Ankle Surgery
Foot and ankle surgery treats deformities, injuries and arthritis of the lower limb's foundation. Many problems, such as plantar fasciitis, improve with stretching, footwear and orthotic insoles.
Surgery is reserved for deformity, instability, tendon rupture or arthritis that does not respond to non-operative care. People with diabetes should check feet daily and treat wounds promptly.
