DeClaire Knee

The ankle is a complex joint made up of the tibia, fibula  and talus, which handles the stress of walking, running, jumping and other  everyday activities. Because of its  frequent use, the ankle is susceptible to many different injuries and diseases  that may develop as the result of wear-and-tear, a fall or from twisting or  other abnormal movements.

Ankle surgery performed by an experienced and highly trained surgeon like Dr. Patel can help patients restore strength and stability to a  damaged ankle joint. Many of these  procedures can be performed with arthroscopy for less scarring, shorter  hospital stays and a faster return to regular activity.
