Ankle and Foot Treatment/Surgery
Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Conditions
We are able to treat a variety of foot and ankle conditions. Your Lee Health provider will work with a multidisciplinary team, providing you the best care in town.
- Achilles Tendon Tears: Occurs when the large tendon connecting the calf muscle to the heel bone ruptures, often during physical activities or on the playing field.
- Congenital Foot and Ankle Conditions: These are present from birth and may affect the structure or function of the foot and ankle.
- Dislocations: Involves two bones that form a joint completely separating, causing pain and dysfunction.
- Traumatic fractures: Can involve bones such as the talus (ankle) or metatarsals (foot), often due to injury.
- Stress fractures: Occur from overuse or overtraining, commonly seen in athletes.
- Heel Spurs: Bony growths on the back of the heel bone (calcaneus), often associated with plantar fasciitis.
- Metatarsalgia: Characterized by pain in the ball of the foot, potentially indicating a torn ligament between the foot's arch and toes.
- Peroneal Tendinosis: The tendons along the outside of the ankle become thickened, swollen, and painful from overuse.
- Posterior Tibial Tendon Tears: Involves a tear in the tendon connecting the calf muscle to the bones on the inside of the foot.
- Sesamoiditis: Inflammation of tiny bones under the big toe, often causing pain and considered a type of tendinitis.
- Tendinitis: Painful inflammation affecting various foot and ankle tendons, including the Achilles tendon.
- Turf Toe: Sprain of the main joint in the big toe caused by hyperextension, often seen in athletes on artificial surfaces, such as football players.

Lee Health Orthopedics: Nationally Ranked Care and Compassionate Service
Lee Health orthopedic doctors provide advanced care for injuries and conditions that affect the foot and ankle. We are nationally ranked for care, and we are here to help you and your family today!
Patients at Lee Health also have access to podiatrists, who provide orthopedic care plus additional services.
The differences between a podiatrist and an orthopedic specialist who treats conditions of the foot and ankle can be summed up this way:
- Orthopedic doctors are trained and capable of providing medical and surgical care for joints and soft tissues of the entire body, but typically specialize in specific area or bone structure.
- Podiatrists (doctors of podiatric medicine) are trained in orthopedic care of the foot and ankle with additional education and expertise in dermatology and biomechanics of the body’s lower extremities.
