Arthroscopy
An arthroscopic procedure is beneficial to both diagnosing as well as treating conditions of the foot or ankle. Arthroscopic surgery involves making a very small incision, where a probe equipped with a medical grade camera is then placed and guided to give us a clear view at the internal structures of the foot. Your physician may recommend an arthroscopy of the foot or ankle if you suffer from one of the following conditions:
- Impingement
- Bone spurs
- Talar dome lesions
- Loose bodies
Ligament Repair
For injuries involving a partial or complete ligament tear in the foot, our specialists will often recommend a minimally invasive surgery to reconnect the ligament. Ligament repair is most often used to address:
- Ankle sprains
- Fixation of navicular
- Metatarsal fractures (Jones fracture)
- Severe turf toe and sesamoid injuries
