An ankle fracture can vary in severity — from a simple break in one bone that may still allow for walking, to multiple fractures that cause the joint to become unstable. In more severe cases, the injury may require the patient to avoid bearing weight on the affected ankle for several weeks or months.
Book NowArthroscopy, also known as arthroscopic or keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat damage within a joint. A small camera called an arthroscope is inserted through a tiny incision to visualize the joint interior. Arthroscopy is commonly used for procedures such as ACL reconstruction and other orthopedic interventions.
A sprain, often referred to as a torn ligament, results from the overstretching or tearing of ligaments within a joint. This usually occurs when the joint is forced beyond its normal range of motion, often due to trauma. Sprains vary in severity, ranging from mild cases that heal with rest to severe ligament ruptures that may require surgical repair and immobilization. The most commonly affected areas are the ankle and wrist.
Ankle arthrodesis, also known as ankle fusion, is a surgical procedure used to treat ankle arthritis, a condition in which the cartilage covering the joint deteriorates, leading to pain and reduced mobility. The goal of the procedure is to eliminate pain by fusing the bones in the ankle joint, often resulting in improved function and stability.
An Achilles tendon rupture is a tear of the Achilles tendon, the strongest and most frequently injured tendon in the body. Rupture typically occurs during activities that involve sudden acceleration, such as jumping or pushing off forcefully. This injury often results in a sudden sharp pain and difficulty walking or bearing weight.
