Do You Need Specialized Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Care for the Ankle?
An ankle injury or condition can significantly disrupt your mobility and daily activities. You may benefit from seeing an ankle specialist if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Pain when walking, running, or bearing weight
- Ankle instability or the feeling that the ankle may “give out”
- Swelling or stiffness around the joint
- Difficulty with movements such as pivoting or jumping
- Reduced range of motion
- Pain that worsens with activity or uneven surfaces
- A recent sprain that has not improved
- Bruising following an injury
These symptoms may indicate a sprain, ligament tear, cartilage injury, fracture, tendon condition, or another orthopaedic issue of the ankle. Our specialty-trained ankle doctors can provide an accurate diagnosis and discuss treatment options tailored to your specific needs. Conditions our ankle doctors diagnose and treat include:
- Achilles tendon injuries and ruptures
- Ankle arthritis
- Ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability
- Cartilage injuries
- Peroneal tendon injuries
- Post-traumatic ankle problems
- Stress fractures
- Tendonitis

Serving the ankle care needs of Dallas, Frisco, and the surrounding areas, our ankle specialists are world-renowned leaders dedicated to helping patients return to an active, healthy life.
Our doctors understand that while ankle surgery may be the best treatment option for one patient, another may benefit more from nonsurgical solutions such as bracing, physical therapy, injections, activity modification, or medication. Our specialists are committed to listening to each patient, understanding their symptoms and goals, and developing a personalized treatment plan that reflects their unique needs.
If ankle surgery is recommended, you can trust that our surgeons remain at the forefront of the latest advancements in ankle technology, procedures, and minimally invasive techniques. Advanced surgical options include:
- Ankle arthroscopy
- Cartilage restoration procedures
- Ligament reconstruction for chronic instability
- Tendon repair
