TightRope™ Fixation for Ankle Syndesmosis
This technique is used to stabilize an ankle after injury. It can be used to repair a high ankle sprain, which damages the soft tissue structures between the tibia and fibula and causes these bones to separate.
Tendon Transfer for Hammertoe (FDL tendon transfer)
This procedure is used to reroute a tendon from beneath a flexible hammertoe to a new path along the top of the toe. Instead of pulling the toe into a bend, the tendon becomes a corrective force that helps straighten the toe.
Midfoot Fusion
This surgical procedure is performed to help relieve pain in the foot and correct deformities in the midfoot caused by injury, trauma, arthritis, or genetic defect.
Fingertip Injuries
Our fingers are often in harm's way, and our fingertips are prone to injury. A fingertip injury can involve skin, soft tissue, nerves and bone. It can involve the nail and the nailbed. These injuries can be serious, painful, and slow to heal.
Jones Fracture Fixation (Intramedullary Screw)
This procedure is used to correct a Jones fracture - a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of the foot. During this procedure, the surgeon inserts a screw into the metatarsal to stabilize the bone and allow it to heal properly.
Jones Fracture Fixation (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation)
This procedure is used to correct a Jones fracture - a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone of the foot.
Kidner Procedure

Lapidus Procedure for Bunion Correction
This procedure is used to correct a bunion, a bony bump at the base of the great toe caused by excess bone growth and misalignment of the bones of the foot and toe. This procedure removes the bump and brings the toe back into proper alignment.
Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction

This surgical procedure is used to help relieve pain in the joint beneath the ankle joint and correct deformities in the hindfoot caused by injury, arthritis, or genetic defect.
