Foot and Ankle Orthopedics

Foot and Ankle Orthopedics is a specialized field within general orthopedics that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and lower leg. This can include issues such as fractures, arthritis, tendon injuries, and deformities like flat feet or bunions. Orthopedic surgeons in this specialty use both non-surgical methods, like physical therapy and orthotics, and surgical procedures to help restore function, relieve pain, and improve mobility. Their goal is to help patients return to daily activities and maintain an active lifestyle.
