Foot & Ankle Surgery

The human foot is a very complex structure with 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 ligaments and muscles working together to achieve a unique combination of stability and flexibility. Problems can arise in any of these specialized structures, especially with active adults.

The Foot and Ankle Service is a busy and integral part of the orthopaedic services at UNC. We are committed to excellence in treating patients surgically and non-surgically treatment for injuries and conditions of the ankle and foot. Examples of the services we provide are as follows:

• Total ankle arthroplasty and treatment of degenerative joint problems
• Deformity correction
• Minimally invasive and open fracture fixation
• Arthroscopic and endoscopic surgery of the ankle and foot
• Current approaches to soft tissue problems
• Limb salvage including the use of hybrid, circular and spatial frame constructs for deformity correction
