There are several types of flatfoot, but all share a common symptom: loss of the foot’s arch. When rehabilitative methods are not enough to correct flatfoot and reduce your pain, surgery may become necessary.
This serious foot condition is caused by nerve damage, called neuropathy, that leads to weak and fractured bones. Those with diabetes are at greater risk of developing Charcot foot. When Charcot foot surgery is necessary, choosing a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon like Dr. Saysoukha is a must.
Your Achilles tendon can be damaged by either prolonged stress or by a sudden injury. Treatment options depend on the severity of the case and how long it has been going on. In addition to treating Achilles tendon injuries and disorders, we also perform surgery to repair the tendon.
It can be common to fracture your foot and not realize it, mistaking a break for a strain or sprain. Foot fractures are diagnosed through x-rays, and your foot and ankle surgeon will determine the best treatment options. Treatment can range from rest and icing to immobilization in a cast or boot to surgery.
Similar to a foot fracture, many people mistake a fractured ankle for a sprained ankle. Ankle fractures can range from mild to quite severe. Treatment options are generally the same as for foot fractures.
An ingrown toenail happens when the side of the nail curves and begins to grow inwards towards the skin of your toe. Often painful and irritating, many ingrown toenails can actually be treated at home. However, severe cases, repeated cases, or those where the nail has become infected need to be taken to a podiatrist. These severe cases of ingrown toenails can often be remedied with a simple surgical procedure.
Often found on the bottom of the foot, plantar warts can be tricky to get rid of. They may clear up on their own but respond more quickly to treatment using methods such as topical solutions, cryotherapy (freezing off), surgery, and more.
This deformity occurs when the little toes bend abnormally. Hammertoe gets worse over time, and it cannot heal on its own. Treatment can include orthopedic-friendly shoes, steroid injections, corrective surgery, and more.
Often resulting from a fall or twist of the ankle, a sprain affects the ankle’s ligaments. Although not as severe as a fracture, a sprained ankle can weaken the foot over time if not treated properly. Your foot and ankle doctor can help outline a recovery plan for you.
Every sport has its own unique risks that players face. From middle school soccer players to professional basketball stars, sports injuries to the foot and ankle can affect any athlete.

Commonly seen in people who have faulty arches, plantar fasciitis is the result of inflammation of the tissue band that extends from the heel to the toes. This condition causes pain in the heel and is often found alongside heel spurs. Treatment includes rest and rehabilitation, shoe modifications or orthopedic devices, physical therapy, and more.
A neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue that may develop in various parts of the body. The most common neuroma in the foot is a Morton’s neuroma, which occurs between the third and fourth toes. It is sometimes referred to as an intermetatarsal neuroma. Intermetatarsal describes its location in the ball of the foot between the metatarsal bones. Neuromas may also occur in other locations in the foot.
Open wounds and sores such as ulcers can develop on the feet as a result of conditions like neuropathy, vascular disease, or diabetes. Foot wounds may lead to infection in the bones, so it is important to visit a doctor immediately. Treatment depends on the severity of the wound.
For diabetics, foot infections or injuries pose a serious threat. Even a small cut on the foot can easily become an infected sore that necessitates the amputation of a toe, foot or even leg. There are many ways you can prevent dangerous foot infections as a diabetic, including getting any injuries treated by a foot and ankle specialist immediately.
Children can experience many of the same foot and ankle conditions that adults do, but due to their still-growing bodies, the methods of treatment are often different. We are experienced at treating foot deformities, injuries, and other foot and ankle issues in children.
