foot & ankle
Standing, walking, dancing and playing – it's amazing what a gift healthy feet and ankles are. So when injury or disease causes pain in your foot or ankle, your quality of life can suffer. You're not alone, though. If severe ankle pain affects you, ankle replacement surgery may be an option.
about your ankle
The ankle is made up of three bones, with ligaments on both sides of the ankle joint holding the bones together. There are many tendons that cross the ankle to move your ankle and toes. The large Achilles tendon in the back of your ankle is the most powerful tendon in the foot, connecting your calf muscles to the heel bone, giving you the power to walk, jump and run.
