Foot and ankle pain shouldn’t hold you back. You’ve tried physical therapy and pain medications for persistent pain in your foot or ankle, yet you’re still not getting the relief you need. Your orthopedic specialist may determine that reconstructive foot and/or ankle surgery is the best way for you to regain full comfort and mobility. 

Total Joint Replacement Pre-op Class

When you register for your surgery, you will receive information from your Physician's office on how to access our virtual Total Joint Replacement class. This informative class, will teach you how to prepare for surgery, what to expect and about the recovery process.

This surgery consists of complex repair(s) that may be necessary to regain function or stability, reduce pain and/or prevent further deformity or disease. Many conditions may necessitate surgery of the foot and/or ankle; these include injury or trauma, overuse, disease and abnormalities present from birth.

  • Tendon repair/transfer
  • Skin or soft tissue repair
  • Fusion of bone
  • Joint implantation
  • Bone grafting
  • Tumor excision and/or the osteotomy of bone
