Specialized Surgical & Non-Surgical Ankle Treatment
Dr. Prisk provides a wide range of services to treat a variety of conditions, including:
Ankle Ligament Reconstruction for Ankle Instability: When the ligaments that stabilize the ankle joint are damaged or overstretched, the joint can feel unstable and give out on uneven ground. When therapy and bracing have failed, a surgical procedure is performed to repair damage to the ligaments that stabilize the ankle joint.
Ankle Scopes (Arthroscopy): This minimally-invasive procedure is used to diagnose and treat problems within the ankle joint using a small camera and instruments inserted through tiny incisions. Cartilage can be repaired, loose bodies can be removed, and spurs can be trimmed down.
Ankle Tendon Tears: This condition occurs when the tendons that connect the muscles to the bone are torn. The Achilles tendon, peroneal tendons, and posterior tibial tendon control the ankle and subtalar joint below. The flexor hallucis longus flexes the big toe often injured in dancers. The tibialis anterior tendon can tear causing a foot drop.
If you're ready to get back on your feet, back in the game, and back to the life you love, don't wait. Contact Dr. Victor Prisk at (412) 525-7692 or submit an online appointment request form to schedule a consultation.
