Foot & Ankle

The focus of the Foot & Ankle team is to provide the highest quality education, research and care related to the diagnosis and treatment — both non-surgical and surgical — for conditions that affect the foot and ankle. We specialize in traumatic injuries to the foot and ankle in addition to reconstruction of deformity, revision surgery and the treatment of arthritis including ankle replacements.

Alumni

Our program is dedicated to the education of Northwestern University orthopaedic residents, medical students and staff members through organized teaching and research. The two faculty members within the team are heavily involved in the education of orthopedic surgeons and orthopedic residents with multiple lectures given locally, nationally and internationally.
