What Is Foot and Ankle Trauma?
Foot and ankle trauma refers to a wide range of injuries that affect the bones, ligaments, tendons, and joints in the lower extremities. These injuries may occur due to high-impact sports, motor vehicle accidents, missteps, or slips and falls.
Common traumatic foot and ankle injuries include:
No matter the severity, prompt evaluation and treatment are critical to avoid long-term complications like chronic pain, instability, or arthritis.
Our Approach to Foot and Ankle Trauma Care
- At our Tarzana facility, we offer comprehensive trauma care that begins with an accurate diagnosis and ends with personalized treatment and rehabilitation.
- Detailed Assessment
Using physical examination and advanced imaging (such as X-rays or MRIs), we evaluate the extent of your injury to determine the most effective treatment approach.
- Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Many injuries can be treated conservatively. Depending on the trauma, we may recommend:
- Immobilization with a cast, boot, or brace
- R.I.C.E. protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation)
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Physical therapy for mobility and strength restoration
- Surgical Intervention
In cases of severe trauma or unstable fractures, surgery may be necessary to properly align bones, repair torn ligaments, or stabilize joints with screws, plates, or pins. We perform minimally invasive procedures whenever possible to reduce downtime and improve outcomes.
- Post-Injury Rehabilitation
Once healing is underway, we guide you through a tailored rehab plan focused on improving mobility, strengthening muscles, and restoring balance—helping you get back on your feet safely.
