When the plantar fascia becomes inflamed, it can cause pain, particularly in the heel and along the bottom of the foot. This pain is often most intense with the first steps in the morning or after periods of rest.
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition characterized by pain in the heel and the bottom of the foot. It involves inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a thick band of connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot.
If you're experiencing persistent bilateral foot swelling, it's important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
During the gait cycle, up to 80% of the body weight passes through the medial column of the foot. This column includes structures like the navicular cuneiform bones as well as the first and second metatarsals. The stability of the medial column is critical for a normal gait cycle
Total Ankle Replacement Surgery (TAR) is indicated for end stage ankle arthritis when conservative treatment has failed. Like any arthroplasty, TAR is offered to patients of lower physical demand. Although there is no definitive age cutoff.
No one wants surgery, but sometimes it's necessary when other treatments fail to provide relief or improvement. If you're experiencing persistent pain, functional limitations, or worsening symptoms despite trying less invasive options, it might be time to consider surgery.
In a prospective multicentred trial of 502 fixed bearing total ankle replacements, the 2-year survivorship of the implant was 98.8%, and the non-revision reoperation rate was 2.8%.

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is transforming bunion correction by offering a less invasive approach compared to traditional methods. Instead of large incisions, MIS involves smaller cuts, leading to quicker recovery times and improved outcomes.

Ankle sprains are common injuries, often occurring when the ligaments supporting the ankle stretch beyond their limits. While most sprains heal well with rest and care, some may lead to ongoing pain or instability.
