From sudden trauma to slow-building overuse, our specialists diagnose and treat the full range of conditions affecting the foot and ankle. Each plan is tailored to your sport, lifestyle, and recovery goals.

A snapping sensation when the peroneal tendons slip out of their groove, often after a forceful ankle twist.

Midtarsal Fracture Dislocation

A complex injury to the middle of the foot caused by high-impact trauma requires precise realignment.

Lisfranc’s Dislocation

Damage to the ligaments and bones connecting the midfoot is often missed without expert evaluation and imaging.
