An open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is done to fix a lateral malleolus fracture — a fracture on the outer side of the ankle (fibula). The surgeon makes an incision to realign the broken bone and uses screws and a plate to hold it in place. It helps restore stability to the ankle and allows the bone to heal in the correct position.

A bimalleolar fracture involves breaks on both sides of the ankle—the outer bone (fibula) and the inner bone (medial malleolus of the tibia). Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) surgery is performed to realign and stabilize both bones with plates and screws. This provides better support, reduces the risk of long-term instability, and helps the ankle heal properly.

A trimalleolar fracture affects three parts of the ankle: the outer (lateral malleolus), inner (medial malleolus), and back of the tibia (posterior malleolus). Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) is used to surgically repair and stabilize all three areas using hardware. Because this is a more complex injury, the recovery may take longer, but the goal is to fully restore ankle stability and function.

A tibia/fibula shaft fracture involves a break in the long, central portions of the lower leg bones—the tibia (shinbone) and fibula. Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) is used to surgically realign and stabilize the bones using metal plates, rods, or screws. Because these fractures can be unstable or significantly displaced, surgical repair helps ensure proper healing, restore leg strength, and support a safe return to walking and activity.

Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera and specialized instruments to diagnose and treat issues inside the ankle joint through tiny incisions. If the procedure includes debridement, the surgeon removes damaged tissue, scar tissue, or loose cartilage to help reduce pain, improve joint movement, and prevent further damage. This is often recommended for patients with chronic ankle pain, inflammation, or limited mobility that hasn't improved with non-surgical treatments.

A total ankle arthroplasty—also called an ankle replacement—is a surgical procedure that replaces a worn-out or severely damaged ankle joint with a new, artificial one. It's typically recommended for people with advanced ankle arthritis who are experiencing significant pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking, even after trying non-surgical treatments.

During the procedure, your surgeon will carefully remove the damaged bone and cartilage from the surfaces of the ankle joint—where the tibia (shinbone) meets the talus (ankle bone). These are then replaced with custom designed metal and plastic components that mimic the natural movement of the ankle, helping reduce pain and restore function.

Unlike an ankle fusion, which eliminates motion, a total ankle replacement is designed to preserve motion in the joint, making everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, and even light exercise feel more natural and comfortable.

A triple arthrodesis is a surgical procedure used to treat severe foot pain, deformity, or instability, especially when caused by arthritis, flatfoot, or conditions like posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. The surgery involves fusing three major joints in the back of the foot—the subtalar, talonavicular, and calcaneocuboid joints. These joints play a key role in side-to-side movement and help support your arch.

In this procedure, your surgeon removes the damaged cartilage from these joints and uses screws or other hardware to hold the bones in place so they can fuse (grow together into one solid bone) over time. The goal is to eliminate painful joint motion while keeping your foot properly aligned and stable.

While you may lose some motion in your foot, most patients find the pain relief, improved alignment, and increased ability to walk comfortably well worth it. Triple arthrodesis is a long-standing, reliable solution for painful and unstable hindfoot problems when other treatments haven’t worked.

The Achilles tendon is the large tendon at the back of the heel that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. If the tendon becomes torn or ruptured—often due to injury or degeneration—Achilles tendon repair surgery may be necessary. The procedure involves stitching the torn ends of the tendon back together to restore function and mobility. In some cases, a minimally invasive technique may be used, where the surgeon makes smaller incisions to reduce tissue damage and speed up recovery. The goal of the surgery is to relieve pain, restore strength and movement in the foot and ankle, and allow you to return to daily activities, including walking and sports, as soon as possible.

Partial excision of the talus (ankle bone) and tibia (shinbone) is a procedure used to remove a portion of one or both bones to treat conditions like arthritis, trauma, bone tumors, or infection. The talus plays a crucial role in the ankle joint, and excising part of it may be necessary to relieve pain or restore mobility when other treatments haven’t worked. Similarly, removing part of the tibia can help address issues like bone infection or trauma. These procedures aim to reduce pain, improve joint function, and prevent further damage, but recovery may involve time spent in a cast or boot, with gradual weight-bearing resumption.
