What Foot and Ankle Surgeons Do? - FootScientific

Foot and ankle surgeons are orthopedic surgeons who provide you with the most up-to-date
and comprehensive treatment. Orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeons work with physicians of
many other specialties, including internal medicine, pediatrics, vascular surgery, endocrinology,
radiology, anesthesiology, and others.

Orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeons use medical, physical, and rehabilitative methods to
treat patients of all ages. They perform reconstructive procedures, treat sports injuries, and
manage and treat trauma of the foot and ankle. Some orthopaedic surgeons perform a range
of operations including hip and knee replacement, arthroscopy of the knee, repairing a slipped
disk in the back and repairing bone fractures.

When you have an orthopedic problem, you'll want to get the best doctor possible to increase
your chances of successful treatment. There are likely to be many orthopaedic doctors in your
general area, so it can be difficult to narrow down your choices. You'll need to consider several
factors, such as the doctor's location, whether you were referred to him by another doctor, and
whether he is covered by your insurance, before making your final choice.
