Foot and Ankle Care

UAB Sports & Exercise Medicine and UAB Orthopaedic Surgery provide the full range of care for foot and ankle conditions, from minor aches and pains to injuries, sprains, and fractures. Our multi-specialty team approach brings together experts in several areas of medicine, and they work together to develop complete care plans for each individual patient, with a focus on recovery.

Our experienced physicians and surgeons provide care at multiple convenient locations and treat all foot and ankle conditions, including:

Sports injuries, sprains, and fractures
Cartilage injury
Stress fractures
Flatfoot
Ligament and tendon tears

We use the latest imaging technology and perform the most advanced procedures to improve or restore foot and ankle function and keep you active and pain-free. This includes minimally invasive procedures that require only a few small incisions (cuts), which results in faster healing and less pain.

With your goals and preferences in mind, our care teams develop personalized treatment plans that can include:

Nonsurgical treatments such as medications, orthotics, injections, and physical therapy
Bracing or minimally invasive procedures to repair or regenerate injured cartilage
Bracing, casting, or surgery (if needed) for treating trauma and fractures
Surgery for flatfoot (pes planus), a condition in which the arch of the foot is absent or underdeveloped, causing the entire sole of the foot to make contact with the ground. The goal is to prevent the condition from getting worse and ease discomfort through procedures such as tendon release and bone realignment.
Foot and ankle arthroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure to repair ligaments or remove damaged tissue
Bone and tissue grafts, which involve transplanting bone or tissue to repair or rebuild damaged or missing ligaments and tendons, repair fractures, or correct deformities

Our experts rely on research-based methods that help us deliver the highest quality of care, and we participate in clinical trials to evaluate promising new treatments. Our team members also serve as physicians for several local college and professional sports teams.
