Foot and ankle stress fractures are tiny cracks in the bone caused by overuse or repetitive stress, commonly seen in athletes and those who suddenly increase activity levels.

Doctors should always strive to reduce invasiveness when possible, and now there is a way to do that with Achilles tendon repair surgery.

"Being restricted to using traditional metal implants is a thing of the past. allergic reactions, metal sensitivity, metal corrosion over time, and issues related to mechanical irritation of the surrounding tissues from the implant are no longer an issue"

The main takeaway from bone grafting is that recovery from the procedure requires some time to heal, but that the bone will grow back stronger than before. Some pain may be involved in recovery, but this can be mitigated with pain meds and is not always pa

Plantar Fasciatis is a condition some people develop that needs to be managed before we can correct it at a later date (surgery, treatment).

Sometimes we injure our Plantar Plate. Here's how to temporarily remedy the pain.

An ankle sprain occurs when ligaments, the tissues connecting bones, are stretched or torn, often due to a sudden twisting or rolling of the ankle. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). 

Bunions, or hallux valgus, occur when the big toe angles towards the other toes with a migration of the first metatarsal away from the second metatarsal. This deformity results in an apparent bump at the base of the big toe. Pain occurs as the bunion inter

Achilles tendonitis, or inflammation of the Achilles tendon, causes pain and swelling at the back of the heel and ankle, often worsened by activity, and can be treated with rest, ice, and stretching.

Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition that occurs when the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs from the heel to the toes, becomes inflamed. It's often caused by overuse or putting too much stress on the feet.

Minimally invasive bunion surgery is an advanced surgical technique designed to correct bunions with less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
