Synergy Orthopedics foot & ankle surgeons provide evaluation and surgical treatment for a range of conditions at select Scripps Hospital locations in San Diego. Foot & ankle surgery may be considered for individuals experiencing pain, nerve compression, instability, or other conditions that have not improved with conservative treatment. Treatment recommendations vary based on the specific condition, symptom severity, and individual patient needs.
The foot and ankle may be considered for certain conditions affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, and soft tissues when symptoms persist despite conservative treatments.
Conditions that may lead to surgical evaluation include ankle instability, Achilles tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, flatfoot deformity, arthritis, fractures, or bone spurs. Our orthopedic doctors may conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging, to determine whether surgical or non-surgical treatment options may be appropriate.
