Tibial Pilon Fractures
These fractures occur near the bottom of your shinbone where it meets the ankle. Our specialists focus on precise alignment and long-term joint stability to help you recover full function.

Calcaneus Fractures
A heel bone fracture can make walking painful or impossible. We provide compassionate care, from diagnosis to surgery and rehabilitation—to help you heal and regain mobility safely.

Bunionectomies
We treat bunions with both non-surgical options like custom orthotics and therapy—and advanced surgical techniques when needed to restore comfort and alignment.

Hallux Valgus
This common toe deformity is treated through a personalized plan that may include orthotics, footwear changes, or corrective surgery, depending on your needs.

Tarsal Coalition
This condition occurs when two or more foot bones are abnormally connected. We provide personalized care to reduce pain, improve motion, and help you stay active.
