FOOT & ANKLE SURGERY

What Is A Foot & Ankle Surgeon?

Foot and ankle surgeons are the surgical specialists of the podiatric profession. They provide complete medical and surgical care for a variety of conditions that affect people of every age.

What Education Has a Foot and Ankle Surgeon Received?

After completing their undergraduate education, the foot and ankle surgeon completes the four-year curriculum at an accredited podiatric medical school, graduating with the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM). Although identical in length to programs at medical schools for osteopathic doctors (DOs) and medical doctors (MDs), and covering basic and clinical sciences, the podiatric medical school curriculum also provides intensive focus on conditions of the foot and ankle.

Following graduation from podiatric medical school, the foot and ankle surgeon enters a post-graduate residency in podiatric medicine and surgery approved by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education. These residencies are similar to, and are often integrated with, residencies for MDs and DOs, and provide training in general medicine, general surgery, and surgical specialties. The critical difference is the higher volume of cases and time focused on the foot and ankle in residency programs for podiatric surgeons. Currently, the majority of podiatric residency programs are three years in length.

If you are dealing with a condition that impacts the bones, muscles, ligaments or joints of the feet and ankles, our podiatry and orthopedic team may be the ideal specialists to diagnose and treat these issues. While an orthopedic surgeon is focused on treating various areas of the body, particularly through surgical techniques, our podiatrists mainly focus on treating and caring for the feet and ankles.

Here at Benenati Foot and Ankle Care Centers, we provide a wide range of surgical and non-surgical treatment options to patients dealing with various foot and ankle problems throughout the Macomb, Warren and St. Clair Shores, MI, areas.
