Diseases of the ankle and foot are a significant concern for patients as they impact their daily activities and hinder walking and mobility to varying degrees.
Often, the initial approach to managing various ankle and foot conditions is conservative. In cases where conservative treatment is not appropriate or no longer effective, a thorough preoperative evaluation is performed.
This includes assessment through all necessary preoperative imaging and laboratory tests by an orthopedic surgeon, and if required, the latest orthopedic materials are ordered. Most surgeries of the ankle and foot can be performed with regional anesthesia, such as a leg block, meaning only the affected foot is anesthetized, and not general anesthesia.
The Orthopedic Department of the Mediterranean Hospital offers a daily Ankle and Foot Surgery Clinic, operating from morning until late afternoon, staffed by highly trained and experienced orthopedic surgeons.
