Ankle/Foot
Podiatry is a branch of medicine that provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of all foot and ankle conditions, including bunions, hammertoes, ingrown nails, corns and calluses, plantar warts, and arthritic deformities. Additionally, Arkansas Surgical Hospital physicians have expertise in the management of diabetic foot problems, sports injuries, and trauma to the foot and ankle.
