Procedures

Procedures Offered

Bunion Ankle Replacement Achilles Plantar Fasciitis

Bunion Surgery

Bunion surgery (bunionectomy) corrects the bony bump at the base of the big toe by realigning the metatarsal bone. Modern techniques include minimally invasive approaches with smaller incisions and faster recovery. Over 100,000 bunion surgeries are performed annually in the US.

Success rate: 85-90% | Recovery: 6-12 weeks | Weight bearing: 2-6 weeks post-op

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Plantar fasciitis treatment addresses inflammation of the thick band of tissue running across the bottom of the foot. Most cases resolve with conservative care — stretching, orthotics, physical therapy, and injections. Surgery (plantar fascia release) is reserved for cases that fail 6-12 months of non-surgical treatment.

Conservative success: 90%+ | Surgery recovery: 6-10 weeks | Common age: 40-60

Ankle Replacement

Total ankle replacement (arthroplasty) replaces a damaged ankle joint with metal and plastic components, preserving natural ankle motion unlike ankle fusion. Modern implants last 10-15+ years and are ideal for patients with severe ankle arthritis who want to maintain mobility.

Implant lifespan: 10-15+ years | Recovery: 3-6 months | Preserves motion: Yes

Achilles Repair

Achilles tendon repair surgery reconnects a torn Achilles tendon — the largest and strongest tendon in the body. Both open and minimally invasive (percutaneous) techniques are available. Early repair gives the best outcomes, with most patients returning to full activity in 6-12 months.

Success rate: 90-95% | Return to activity: 6-12 months | Technique: Open or percutaneous
