Foot and ankle injuries and conditions can occur for many reasons – from wearing the wrong shoes to sports injuries to health conditions such as diabetes. Finding the right care for these foot and ankle problems can be an even bigger challenge.
UofL Health – Orthopedics offers specialized expertise in foot and ankle care. Our team of fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons can provide the best treatment options for minor conditions, as well as the most complex injuries and deformities.
What sets our medical specialists apart?
Medical doctors and podiatrists often overlap in the treatments performed. Podiatrists generally treat problems at the front of the foot, such as ulcers, corns, calluses, bunions and plantar fasciitis. Orthopedic surgeons who specialize in foot and ankle care address more complex conditions, such as problems relating to bones, fractures, soft tissues and joints.
Regardless of your condition, our specialists can provide just the right care – addressing complex and minor injuries, diabetic foot conditions, fracutres, joint replacements, arthritis, toe and nail treatments and more.
