Rehabilitation Protocols

A break in one or more of the ankle bones, most often the fibula and sometimes the tibia, usually from a twisting injury. Surgery restores alignment and stabilizes the joint with plates and screws.

This tendon lifts the foot at the ankle. Tears are most common in adults over 50, and repair or reconstruction restores the ability to clear the foot when walking.

For foot drop from nerve injury. The posterior tibial tendon is rerouted to the top of the foot so you can lift your foot again when you walk.

Repeated ankle sprains can stretch the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. The Broström procedure tightens and reattaches them to restore stability.

A break at the base of the fifth metatarsal, an area with limited blood supply that heals slowly. Athletes often get screw fixation for a faster, more reliable return to sport.

A bony bump on the back of the heel irritates the Achilles where it attaches. Surgery removes the bump and repairs the tendon.

An injury to the midfoot ligaments and joints that support the arch. Surgery restores alignment to lower the risk of long-term arthritis.

Damage to the cartilage and underlying bone of the ankle, often after a sprain. Treatment ranges from cleaning up the lesion to cartilage restoration.

For end-stage ankle arthritis. The damaged joint surfaces are replaced with an implant, relieving pain while keeping motion.

These tendons run behind the outer ankle and help stabilize it. Tears, or tendons slipping out of place, are repaired or stabilized surgically.
