Procedures / Treatments
Foot and ankle surgeries are operations that help fix problems in your feet and ankles, like broken bones, arthritis, or injuries to the ligaments and tendons. Surgery might be: Arthroscopic: less invasive surgery. The surgeon makes small cuts and uses a tiny camera to see inside. They can then fix or take out the damaged parts. Open: for more complicated problems, the surgeon makes a larger cut to get a better look and fix the damaged parts directly. Joint Replacement (ankle): when the ankle is badly damaged, the surgeon might remove the damaged areas and replace them with parts made of special materials.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist that causes tingling, numbness and pain in your hand. Surgery to relieve carpal tunnel syndrome involves making an incision (cut) from the middle of the palm of your hand to your wrist. Tissue that is pressing on the nerve is then cut to release the pressure.
