Gary Driver's Expert Contributions
  • Why Does Ankle Arthritis Develop After an Ankle Fracture?

    When patients suffer an ankle fracture, the alignment of the ankle joint is often affected. If the ankle fracture is more minor, and the fracture is stable, then we can treat this with immobilization and avoid surgery. When the fracture is more severe and the ankle joint is unstable or not aligned...

  • Total Ankle Replacement

    Total ankle replacement, also known as total ankle arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure that foot and ankle surgeons use to treat ankle arthritis. Arthritic changes may be a result of normal wear and tear due to aging or from an injury such as a broken ankle or dislocation. Arthritis eventually...

  • Planters wart?

    Planters' warts are typically covered by callus tissue protecting them and this tissue needs to be debriefed by a specialist then there are several methods of treating the wart. READ MORE

  • Broken toe?

    Without an x-ray, this is difficult to give an answer. However, if the 5th digit does have a break and is relatively non-displaced this typically can be treated with buddy taping the 4th and 5th toes together with paper tape and a small amount of cotton between toes. Typically you can wear a regular shoe based on pain, if too painful a surgical shoe is best. READ MORE

  • How painful is a total ankle replacement?

    It is a very involved procedure and therefore can be painful for a few days, but your doctor can admit you after surgery for pain management purposes and to work with physical therapy. READ MORE

  • Foot infections?

    Those could very well be plantar warts. Please see a foot specialist for evaluation and treatment recommendations. READ MORE

  • What can I do for my heel pain?

    You should be evaluated by a Foot and Ankle specialist in regards to your pain because there could be various causes to your source of pain. READ MORE

  • Is an ankle brace good for a sprained ankle?

    Yes, depending on the severity of the injury and the pain involved. A brace is typically used at some time in the rehab protocol as well as physical therapy. READ MORE

  • What exercise is good for ankle pain?

    Proprioception exercises balance and work the ankle joint ligaments, and the range of motion of the ankle. READ MORE

  • I need help with my feet?

    Burning and itching is frequently caused in an acute setting by an allergic reaction (i.e., new detergent, etc.) or fungal infection. Oral Benadryl will typically help. If an allergic reaction, topical steroids cream may help, and if a fungal infection, a topical antifungal cream. I would suggest making a follow-up appointment with a foot and ankle specialist if symptoms do not get better or worsen. READ MORE

  • Is my foot broken?

    Without any context other than a picture of your foot, this would be difficult to answer. I suggest you go get radiographs done of your foot for evaluation if you believe it is broken. READ MORE

  • Toe question?

    If you have had an X-ray and the bone is prominent or of abnormal morphology, you may need an exostectomy to shave the bone down. Otherwise, if it is just prominent and not pushing on the nail, you can pad it with a toe pad. READ MORE

  • Can a chiropractor help with ankle mobility?

    A chiropractor may be able to help with ankle mobility, but I would advise seeing a foot and ankle specialist for an accurate diagnosis, and they can send you to the correct person to aid in recovery or treatment. READ MORE

  • What kind of anesthesia do they use for ankle surgery?

    These surgeries will typically require general anesthesia and they can offer you a nerve block in the thigh that last about 24 hours that does reduce how much pain medication you require. READ MORE

  • Injured toenail?

    The nail will very likely fall off on its own. You may trim back very short if you wish, otherwise you can wait till it falls off. READ MORE

  • What helps swollen ankles after working out?

    Compression socks or stockings will help control swelling. READ MORE

  • I have constant foot pain?

    Several possibilities exist, but without any recent trauma, you may have developed tendonitis near the base of your fifth metatarsal. READ MORE

  • What are the risks of plantar fasciitis surgery?

    Often times conservative care will treat and cure this condition. If it becomes chronic and failed conservative care surgery is an option, with low risks from surgery. READ MORE

  • What is the treatment for a torn ankle ligament?

    Physical therapy and supportive bracing is very helpful. If this fails surgery is a consideration and works very well with ligament damage. READ MORE
