Reconstructive Foot and Ankle Surgery
A sprain is stretching or tearing of a ligament. Ligaments connect adjacent bones in a joint and provide stability to the joint.

It most commonly occurs when you participate in sports or when you jump or run on a surface that is irregular. read more

Treatment of Flat and Cavus Feet
To support the entire body's weight on your two feet, the inner middle portion of each foot (midfoot) is raised off the ground to form an arch. A cavovarus foot deformity is characterized by a higher-than-normal arch of the inner midfoot. This results as the two ends of the foot - the heel and toes - abnormally draw towards the inside of the foot, causing the foot to rest on its outer side. read more
