About
Foot and ankle surgery is a specialized area of podiatric medicine that involves the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. These conditions can include ankle sprains, fractures, arthritis, bunions, hammertoes, and plantar fasciitis, among others. A podiatrist with specialized training in foot and ankle surgery can offer a variety of surgical options, including minimally invasive procedures, to help alleviate pain and improve mobility. Recovery times can vary depending on the procedure and the patient’s individual needs, but a podiatrist can work closely with patients to develop a comprehensive plan for post-surgical care and rehabilitation.
