Joint Fusions
Throughout the course of these blogs, we have discussed varying joint replacement (or arthroplasty) procedures at length. However, replacement is not the only option when the joint is arthritic or otherwise deteriorated.

Charcot Foot
Of all the chronic conditions that affect the foot and ankle, Charcot foot may be considered one of the more severe. If not caught early, limited options for treatment exist.
