can get you on your feet within 4 weeks. Ankle fractures and being off your ankle 8-12 weeks are a thing of the past. I have specialized training in a unique surgical procedure that can allow full weight bearing within 10- 14 days. Ankle ligament ruptures and tears can be easily fixed these days with a novel procedure called the internal brace. I have had tremendous success in treating all types of ankle dislocations as well as deltoid ligament tears.

Fractures these days can be healed quicker with bone stimulator devices . These devices can speed up the recruitment of the new bone cells that can heal your foot and ankle fracture.

Sports medicine injuries do not all need surgery . There are many ways to get better without having to do surgery . Bracing , shoe gear, custom molded orthotics and physical therapy can put you on the road to recovery with out the need for surgery. Many times an X ray will tell us what the best treatment is. At our office we have a Digital X ray machine that uses a low amount of X ray, with giving you instant images of the bones. Sometimes an MRI is necessary. We use that best radiologist to perform accurate MRI’s that are high resolution and give the most accurate diagnosis.

Rest assured, you will get the best care with the most experienced and highest trained foot and ankle surgeon in San Diego for all your foot and ankle sports medicine injuries.
