Ankle Repair, Ankle Reconstruction, and Ankle Replacement Surgery
Our foot and ankle surgeons use the latest techniques to repair, reconstruct, and/or replace the joints of the foot and ankle. For years, we have been and continue to be involved in the development or refinement of many of the implants used in our field, including some newer implants that are only available at major programs like Duke.

Leading Foot and Ankle Researchers
We are involved in a wide range of research initiatives, including:

• Understanding the biology of ankle joint injury and repair
• Using orthobiologics to treat soft-tissue and bone conditions
• Developing custom scaffolds through 3D printing to fill bone voids caused by trauma or disease
• Optimizing the management of limb-threatening conditions caused by infection, including participation in an FDA clinical trial
• Advancing techniques in several areas, including minimally invasive surgery, ankle replacement, reconstruction of progressive collapsing foot deformity, and sports-related injuries

These efforts reflect our commitment to expand treatment options for all foot and ankle conditions. We want to help you return to an active, healthy life with confidence.
