Ankle and Foot

The UCSF Foot and Ankle Service specializes in evaluating and managing disorders of the lower leg, ankle and foot. Our staff is experienced in treating conditions that require surgeries to repair the small bones and tendons of the foot and ankle. Our experts also advise on simple lifestyle changes, such as choosing well-fitting shoes, to treat some conditions.

To manage major injuries, microsurgery specialists and plastic surgeons are available. Physical medicine specialists, rehabilitative physicians and a pain management team assist with problems associated with chronic conditions such as arthritis.

Through this collaboration, we offer a full complement of services for foot and ankle disorders including achilles tendinitis, bunion and hammertoe.
