What surgeries are performed on the foot and ankle?
Some of the more common foot surgeries include procedures for:
- Sprained ankles
- Ankle tendonitis
- Ankle and foot deformities
- Cavus foot
- Flat foot
- Haglund’s syndrome
- Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
When should I consider surgery?
Most of the above conditions can be improved with traditional therapies such as medication management and physical therapy. However, there are situations in which the doctor may recommend surgical intervention, especially if these more conservative methods do not address the situation.
Comprehensive care with an orthopedic professional
Our team of professionals across our seven convenient locations can assess a patient’s specific needs during an initial consultation visit. The doctor will evaluate the patient and take a series of x-rays to provide a proper diagnosis. Then, treatment options are discussed. With physical therapy or medication, many patients can restore the function of their foot and ankle, though severe cases may still benefit from surgical intervention.
Our practice offers a wide range of orthopedic solutions for patients in the areas of West Babylon, Wading River, Commack, Riverhead, Patchogue, Southampton, and Setauket. We accept new and existing patients into our facility to help them feel and function at their best, regardless of what conditions they face.
