Foot
and Ankle
Orthopedic care
of the foot and ankle is a very extensive and complex
medical field, which has made significant advances in
the past 20 years. This includes both surgical and non-surgical
care of the foot and ankle.
We can separate the care
of the foot and ankle injuries into categories. The first
would be traumatic injuries to the foot and ankle, which
would consist of sprains, strains and fractures. The
second category would be mechanical deformities of the
foot which would include common things such as heel spurs,
bunions, toe deformities and nerve entrapment.
Orthopedic care of the foot begins in the youngster with
the treatment of static foot deformity such as club foot.
The adolescent one is mostly treating encounters of sprains
and also traumatic injuries.

The mechanical deformities that require special attention usually occur
in adults and probably a lot of these are related to shoe wear and if
one culprit could be identified it would be a high heel shoe. The majority
of foot deformities in the forefoot are in women.
Surgery of the foot is reserved for those conditions which cannot be
alleviated by measures such as inserts in the shoe or shoe modification.
