Foot and ankle sports medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating injuries related to physical activity, such as sprains, fractures, and tendonitis. Specialists use techniques like rehabilitation, bracing, or surgery to restore function, enhance performance, and prevent future injuries for athletes.
Total ankle replacement is a surgical procedure where damaged ankle joint surfaces are replaced with artificial implants. This treatment is often recommended for severe arthritis or joint damage, aiming to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve overall function while preserving motion.
Bunions are bony protrusion that develop at the base of the big toe, causing the joint to protrude outward. This misalignment can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes. Treatment ranges from conservative options to surgery, depending on severity.

He has expertise in advanced reconstructive procedures of the foot and ankle including deformity correction, revision surgery, post-traumatic reconstruction, and limb salvage using state-of-the-art techniques and a patient-centered approach.
