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. The camera projects an image of the inside of the joint onto a large monitor, allowing your surgeon to look for any damage, assess the type of injury and repair the problem.

Achilles Tendon Repair

Arthroscopic ankle joint cartilage repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to repair damaged cartilage within the ankle joint using arthroscopic guidance and small incisions. The procedure enables your physician to detect the damaged cartilage and make repairs to your ankle without making large cuts in the skin and tissue as in an open ankle surgery.

Ankle Ligament Reconstruction

Ankle ligament reconstruction is a surgical procedure typically performed to treat serious sprains or instability in the ankle.An ankle sprain is a common injury that occurs when the ankle is turned or twisted, and results in torn ligaments within the joint. The ligaments in your foot and ankle consist of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL).

Ankle Fractures

Ankle injuries are very common in athletes and individuals performing physical work; often resulting in severe pain and impaired mobility. Pain after ankle injuries can either be from a torn ligament (ankle sprain) or broken bone (ankle fracture).An ankle fracture is a painful condition where there is a break in one or more bones forming the ankle joint.

Ankle Arthrodesis

Ankle arthrodesis is the surgical fusion of bones that form the ankle joint. The ankle joint is formed by the tibia, talus, and the fibula bones.The goal of ankle arthrodesis is to relieve pain in the affected joint. This is achieved by surgically eliminating the joint.

Ankle Sprain

A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments. Ligaments connect adjacent bones and provide stability to a joint. An ankle sprain is a common injury that occurs when you suddenly fall or twist the ankle joint, or when you land your foot in an awkward position after a jump. Most commonly, it occurs when you participate in sports, or jump or run on a surface that is irregular.

Achilles Tendonitis

Inflammation of the Achilles tendon is known as Achilles tendonitis or tendinitis.The Achilles tendon is a tough band of fibrous tissue that runs down the back of your lower leg and connects your calf muscle to your heel bone. The tendon is used when you walk, climb, jump, run and stand on your tip toes.

Total Ankle 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.
