For patients suffering from foot and ankle conditions, every step can serve as a painful reminder to take better care of their feet. Feet and ankles are some of the most commonly injured areas of the body, often being mistreated in the name of fashion or sports. Whatever the cause, the experienced physicians at UT Southwestern Medical Center are available to help.
UT Southwestern provides comprehensive diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation services to patients suffering from foot and ankle conditions, including trauma and reconstruction of post-traumatic problems, plantar fasciitis, gout, foot deformities related to neuromuscular disorders and arthritic conditions, malignant and benign foot tumors, tendon injuries and sports-related injuries.
Our physicians also treat acquired foot problems, including bunions, hammertoes, digital neuromas, heel pain, tendonitis and acquired flat foot deformity.
Our knowledgeable physicians offer patients conservative approaches to their foot and ankle conditions such as physical therapy, prescription orthotics and ultrasound-guided cortisone injections.
For some patients, surgical intervention is the only course of treatment that will bring the best results. UT Southwestern’s world-class orthopaedic surgeons offer the latest in reconstructive techniques, fusions and osteotomies. In addition, our caring staff specializes in foot and ankle trauma and reconstruction after trauma.
Our team of orthopaedic surgeons, wound-care specialists, cast technicians and certified pedorthists collaborate to create a comprehensive treatment plan for each patient.
UT Southwestern’s comprehensive medical resources enable patients to have an initial consultation, testing, follow-up visits and any needed medical procedures all in one location.
