If you’re in need of an ankle doctor, the OINJ Foot & Ankle Center can diagnose ankle-specific conditions. When an ankle is sprained, it means that the ligaments have been stretched beyond their limit or even torn. Ligaments are the fibrous connective tissue that attach the bones in the body together and keep them in place. An ankle fracture is a small break in one of the bones that make up the ankle. The top ankle joint is comprised of the shinbone (tibia), the bone of the lower leg (fibula) and the anklebone (talus). Depending on the type and severity of the fracture, surgery may be required to effectively treat the condition.

We provide comprehensive evaluation for foot and ankle conditions for patients of all ages and activity levels and develop the best treatment plan for your condition. Feet and ankles are two of the most neglected areas of the body. But it’s important to seek treatment from an orthopedic foot specialist. Although some foot and ankle symptoms will improve within two weeks, more serious problems can take longer to completely heal. If not treated properly, foot and ankle conditions can lead to recurrent problems, especially if you return to your regular activities too soon.

“I just wanted to send a huge grateful thank you to the kind nurses and doctor who worked Christmas Eve. I fell from a large step while caroling and hurt my right ankle. My first thought in dealing with my foot was emergency room but recalled that you had emergency hours.

I got to the office and was greeted by kind and warm people ready to help and get me fixed up. I was x-rayed, consulted and given an action plan and sent on my way within a half hour.

I can’t thank you enough. You saved me the time and hassle and expense of an emergency room. I am on the road to healing and will remind people of your emergency services.”

“The entire staff at The Orthopedic Institute is highly talented and experienced. Dr White rebuilt my ankle and foot 4 years ago and today I am perfectly healed.His bedside manner and skill is way above the norm. In November 2016 Dr. Dundon did a total knee replacement on me. He is a highly skilled surgeon and up to date with the latest advances in this area. I highly recommend him!”
