Feet & Ankles
At Inland Orthoapedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Clinic, our team is ready to diagnose and correct foot and ankle problems accurately and quickly. Sometimes physical therapy is the solution, but other times orthopaedic surgery is needed. Our surgeons will use x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and other tests to assess and determine the scope of the injury and the best course of action. Our treatment options are highly individualized, ranging from therapy and conservative care to surgical correction. It is our goal to restore range of motion, decrease pain and increase strength. We are dedicated to delivering orthopaedic excellence.
Some of the foot and ankle conditions commonly treated at Inland Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine Clinic are:
Achilles Tendon Rupture
Achilles Tendon Ruptures are tearing and separation of the tendon fibers so that the tendon can no longer perform its normal function. The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body. It connects your calf muscles to your heel bone and is used when you walk, run, and jump.
Ankle and Foot Fractures
Ankle and Foot Fractures are quite common. Fractures can result from a direct blow to the foot — such as accidentally kicking something hard or dropping a heavy object on your toes. They can also result from the overuse and repetitive stress that comes with participating in high-impact sports like running, football, and basketball.
Although fracturing a bone in your toe or forefoot can be quite painful, it rarely requires surgery. In most cases, a fracture will heal with rest and a change in activities.
