• Bunion Surgery
  Unlike other foot conditions, bunions do not correct themselves over time. Splints, orthotics and specially-fitted footwear all help to alleviate the pressure and reduce the future growth of a bunion. If misalignments and damage are serious enough, a bunion surgery known as a bunionectomy may be the next step in treatment.
• Bunions
  Bunions are misaligned big toe joints that can become swollen and tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward, and the second joint to angle toward the other toes. A bunion is a bone deformity caused by…
• Arthroscopy
  Ankle arthroscopy is also known as key hole ankle surgery (or minimally invasive ankle surgery).  It is an operation performed under general or regional anaesthetic  and involves using two very small incisions to gain access into the ankle joint.  Each incision is less than 1cm and usually two incisions are required both to give different perspectives of the joint as well as to allow the insertion of special instruments from the opposite side to that for the camera.

Dermatologists

• Corns
  Corns and calluses (a buildup of skin) on the toe, between two toes or on the ball of the foot. Corns are caused by constant friction against the shoe. They may be soft or hard, depending on their location.

Podiatrists

• General Podiatry
  Dr. Graglia is a board certified podiatrist who received his doctorate from the Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine Chicago, after after earning his B.A. in Biology at the UW-Madison, Wisconsin.
• Achilles Tendonitis
  Achilles tendonitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon. This inflammation is typically short-lived. Over time, if not resolved, the condition may progress to a degeneration of the tendon (Achilles tendonosis), in which the tendon loses its organized structure and is likely to develop microscopic tears. Sometimes the degeneration involves the site where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone. In rare cases, chronic degeneration with or without pain may result in rupture of the tendon.
• Ankle Instability
  Not all ankle surgery can be done using arthroscopy but there are certain conditions for which it is commonly used. These include  ankle arthritis, ankle impingement,ankle instability,pain following ankle fracture,osteochondral defects,loose bodies and synnovitis.
• Ankle Sprain
  An ankle sprain occurs when the strong ligaments that support the ankle stretch beyond their limits and tear. Ankle sprains are common injuries that occur among people of all ages. They range from mild to severe, depending upon how much damage there is to the ligaments.
• Bunions Problems
  A bunion is commonly referred to as a “bump” on the joint at the base of the big toe—the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint—that forms when the bone or tissue at the big toe joint moves out of place. The toe is forced to bend toward the others, causing an often painful lump of bone on the foot. Because this joint carries a lot of the body’s weight while walking, bunions can cause extreme pain if left untreated. The MTP joint itself may become stiff and sore, making even the wearing of shoes difficult or impossible. A bunion—from the Latin “bunio,” meaning enlargement—can also occur on the outside of the foot along the little toe, where it is called a “bunionette” or “tailor’s bunion.”
• Calluses
• Diabetic Foot Care
• Flat Feet
• Hammertoes
  Hammertoe is a contracture (bending) deformity of one or both joints of the second, third, fourth or fifth (little) toes. This abnormal bending can put pressure on the toe when wearing shoes, causing problems to develop.
• Heel Spurs
  A heel spur is a pointed outgrowth of the calcaneus bone located at either the back of the heel or beneath the sole of the foot. Oftentimes, this pain at the back or bottom of the heel is brought on by inflammation of the Achilles tendon or another condition. If you’re suffering from heel pain, it’s likely you’re dealing with a pesky heel spur. Learn more about the symptoms and causes of heel spurs.

• Podiatric Deformities
  Often, patients with hammertoe have bunions or other foot deformities corrected at the same time. In selecting the procedure or combination of procedures for your particular case, the foot and ankle surgeon will take into consideration the extent of your deformity, the number of toes involved, your age, your activity level and other factors. The length of the recovery period will vary, depending on the procedure or procedures performed.
