Foot And Ankle Surgery

When you’re experiencing foot and ankle problems, you can depend on our physicians to listen and respond. Drs. Ron Resnick, Christopher Gentchos and Kristen Stupay will provide you with a diagnosis and treatment plan aimed at improving your health and getting you back to your normal activity level. Complaints such as bunions, hammer toes, neuromas, tendonitis, sprains, deformities, plantar fasciitis, corns and calluses are some common causes of foot and ankle pain.

Additionally, physical fitness activities can onset a variety of painful overuse type syndromes. Conservative treatments, such as shoe modifications, inserts, physical therapy, medications, bracing, and temporary immobilization are often very helpful in relieving pain. However, when pain persists and limits normal functioning, surgery may be indicated to correct the problem and alleviate the pain. Our physicians tailor an individual treatment plan to suit your needs.

Some of the common foot and ankle problems people seek treatment for from Concord Orthopaedics include, but are not limited to:

• Achilles Tendon (An Achilles Tendon is a fibrous tissue that connects the heel to the muscles of the lower leg, calf muscles.)
• Athlete’s Foot (This is a fungal infection that develops in the moist areas between your toes and sometimes other parts of your foot.)
• Bunions (Bunions are an enlargement of bone or tissue around the joint at the base of the big toe.)
• Charcot joints (A progressive joint deconstruction.)
• Diabetic Arthropathy (A disease or abnormality of a joint as a result of diabetes.)
• Flat feet (A medical condition that causes the arch of the foot to collapse.)
• Hammertoe (A deformity of the proximal interphalengeal joint of the second, third or fourth toe causing it to be permanently bent.)
• Heel spur (A calcium deposit on the underside of the heel bone.)
• High arches (An arch that is raised more than “normal”)
• Ingrown toenails (An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows down and into the skin of the toe causing pain, redness and swelling around the nail.)
• Osteoarthritis (A common joint disorder due to aging and wear and tear on a joint.)
• Osteomyelitis (A bone infection caused by bacteria and other germs.)
• Plantar faciitis (An inflammation of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot.)
• Rheumatoid arthritis (A chronic systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect tissues and organs.)
• Sprains (A sprain is an injury in a joint caused by the ligament being stretched beyond its capacity.)
• Stress fractures (A stress fracture is an overuse injury. It occurs when muscles become fatigued and are unable to absorb added shock.)

Our orthopaedic specialists treat foot and ankle problems resulting from fractures, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases. Conservative treatments, such as shoe modifications, inserts, physical therapy, medications, bracing, and temporary immobilization are often very helpful in relieving pain.

However, when pain persists and limits normal functioning, surgery may be indicated to correct the problem and alleviate the pain.

To better serve our patients we offer onsite X-rays and MRIs.
