Foot and Ankle Surgery
Dr. Chad Brady, DPM, works with patients to determine the most appropriate approach, considering both non-surgical options and, when necessary, surgical intervention. Surgery is typically recommended only after treatments like physical therapy, orthotics, or medication have been explored. However, certain injuries—such as ankle fractures—may require more immediate surgical care.
Common conditions that may benefit from surgery include:
- Bunions
- Tendon tears
- Severe arthritis
- Ligament injuries
- Joint damage from trauma or degeneration
Surgical procedures vary depending on the condition and may involve realigning bones, repairing torn tissues, removing inflamed or overgrown tissue, or fusing painful joints. In cases of advanced joint deterioration, a total ankle replacement may be considered to restore function and reduce pain.
Dr. Brady provides personalized care throughout the process, helping patients understand their options and supporting them through recovery with the goal of improving comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
