Foot & Ankle Surgery

The foot and ankle are the base (footing) of our entire musculoskeletal system. Only pain-free walking brings you forward. There are multiple reasons for foot and ankle disorders, and they require different therapies.

Here at LEONARDO we offer the complete spectrum of conservative and operative treatments. These include open and arthroscopic surgery, treatment of deformities, osteoarthritis, rheumatic conditions, tendon disorders as well as sports- and other injuries.

With us you are in the best hands for anything concerning your foot. As experienced specialists, we have been active in this region from the beginning and have a broad network at our disposal. We will be happy to advise you on the appropriate and individual treatment for your foot and ankle complaints.

Achilles Tendon Rupture

The rupture of the Achilles tendon is usually the result of an acute injury and is one of the most frequent sports injuries.

01.04.2020

Osteoarthritis of the upper ankle joint

The largest joint at the foot and ankle is the upper ankle joint. Here the movement of the foot is either up or down. (Fig. 1). As with all other joints in the body, osteoarthritis can also occur here.

01.04.2020

Hallux Rigidus

When movement in the big toe joint is painfully restricted, the cause is often the development of osteoarthritis of the joint, a so-called hallux rigidus.

01.04.2020

Hammer Toes

Hammer toes is the name given to a frequent malpositioning of the little toes. This deformity often occurs in combination with a hallux valgus deformity.

01.04.2020

Morton’s Neuroma

Morton’s neuroma is a nerve compression syndrome between the heads of the metatarsals. The nerves in the forefoot run between the metatarsals.

01.04.2020

Achillodynia and Haglund Exostosis Treatment

Like many tendons in the body, the Achilles tendon can also cause pain due to degenerative changes. Repetitive or unusually heavy strain can occasionally be found as a cause.

01.04.2020

Chronic Ankle Instability

Ligament injuries to the ankle are among the most common injuries in everyday life. In most cases, the ligaments of the outer ankle are affected. In rare cases, the ligaments of the inner ankle can also be damaged

01.04.2020

Hallux Valgus

The hallux valgus or bunion is probably the most common foot problem. How this deformity emerges is not entirely clear.

01.04.2020

Flat Foot Pes Planovalgus

A flat foot can have various causes. There are essentially two types of flat feet.

01.04.2020

Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus

Osteochondral lesions are damage to the cartilage bone interface in the joint. At the upper ankle joint, these lesions mostly affect the talus

01.04.2020

Hindfoot and Midfoot Osteoarthritis Treatment

The foot consists of 26 bones, all of which have joint connections to one or more adjacent bones.

04.05.2020

Heel Pain Plantar Fasciitis, “Heel Spur”

The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, an overuse (irritation, inflammation, micro-damage) of the tendon plate in the arch of the foot.

Questionnaire

We ask almost all of our patients scheduled for an operation to fill out a questionnaire before and after the operation.
