Expert Foot & Ankle Trauma Care

Prompt Diagnosis and Treatment for Optimal Recovery

Your feet and ankles are a complex system made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 110 ligaments, tendons, and muscles. When everything works together, they provide the stability and mobility you need for daily activities. But when injury occurs, even in one part of this system, it can trigger a cascade of negative effects if left untreated.

Common Types of Foot & Ankle Trauma

• Sprains, Strains, and Tears – Often caused by twisting the foot or ankle, a misstep, or sudden trauma.
• Fractures and Breaks – May result from slipping, falling, or heavy impact, such as an object landing on the foot.
• Overuse Injuries – Can lead to pain in the heel, ankle, front of the leg, or ball of the foot due to repetitive stress.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Early diagnosis is essential for the best possible outcome. Our doctors at Foot and Ankle Specialists of the Mid-Atlantic provide a thorough examination to evaluate for:

• Fractures or breaks
• Dislocations
• Sprains or strains

Diagnostic imaging may include X-rays, and in some cases, a CT scan or MRI to confirm the extent of injury.

Treatment Options

Depending on your diagnosis, we offer both conservative and surgical treatments to ensure proper recovery. Our physicians are highly trained in foot and ankle trauma and tailor treatment plans to your specific condition. Options may include:

• Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE)
• Bracing or casting
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Surgical repair when necessary
