Ankle reconstruction

Rearfoot and ankle reconstruction for flatfoot, ankle arthritis, Charcot deformity, and revision of prior surgery.

Reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery is its own board certification through ABFAS. Dr. David Heath holds that additional credential. Dr. Liliana Heath is board-certified in foot surgery and operates here as well.

That covers flatfoot reconstruction, ankle arthritis, Charcot reconstruction, and revision of failed prior surgery.

Dr. David Heath also completed Ilizarov training in Kurgan, Russia. An Ilizarov frame is an external fixator: rings and wires outside the leg that hold the bone while it heals. It is used when a deformity or an infection makes a plate or screws inside the bone a poor fit.
