  • Gastrocnemius Equinus Contracture

    Resulting from neurological disorders, congenital factors, or acquired muscle shortening over time, gastrocnemius equinus contractures significantly impact normal gait and increase the risk of developing other foot or ankle pathology. Response to or failure of conservative treatment will guide indications...

  • Hallux Rigidus

    Hallux rigidus presents mobility challenges in the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint, limiting normal gait and foot and ankle mechanics. Chronic cases may benefit from cheilectomy, interpositional arthroplasty, and arthrodesis procedures to improve pain and function.

  • Hallux Valgus

    Hallux valgus is a common source of foot pain and deformity that can significantly impact gait and weight-bearing tolerance. Chronic cases may benefit from osteotomy and arthrodesis procedures to improve pain and function.
