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.
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.
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.
