Nationally Recognized Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Specialists
The foot and ankle are highly complex structures that work together when
supporting our body and allowing it to stand, walk, run, and move in many
different ways. In fact, the human foot and ankle contain over 100 ligaments,
tendons, bones, and muscles combined, and consist of 33 joints. Over the
course of a person’s life, these structures sustain a tremendous
amount of pressure, and absorb a great deal of impact and stress when
a person is active and highly mobile. As such, foot and ankle injuries
caused by overuse, wear and tear, and sudden movements from sports or
activities are common.
When the foot or ankle are injured, patients often require specialized
medical attention and treatment in order to restore maximum function and
movement. At Hoag Orthopedic Institute, our foot and ankle surgeons and
podiatrists take a comprehensive approach to treating foot and ankle injuries,
as well as problems caused by various conditions and disorders.
