Details.
Evaluation and treatment for arthritis affecting the foot and ankle. The visit includes a physical exam and typically X-rays, with CT scans sometimes used to assess bone quality and the effects of arthritis. Conservative treatment options may include steroid injections to reduce pain, custom orthotics to support the feet when walking and standing, and blood injections for inflammation and pain. If joint pain persists, surgical options may include joint repair, joint replacement, or joint fusion.
