Foot & Ankle Deformities
What are Foot & Ankle Deformities?
Understanding the condition
Foot and ankle deformities encompass a wide range of structural abnormalities that alter the shape, alignment, and function of the foot or ankle.
These deformities may be congenital (present at birth), acquired over time, or develop as a result of trauma, arthritis, or neuromuscular disorders.
If left untreated, deformities can lead to pain, instability, limited mobility, and secondary issues such as calluses, ulcers, or gait imbalance.

How We Diagnose Foot & Ankle Deformities
Diagnosis begins with a comprehensive physical and biomechanical evaluation.
Dr. Malek Abu-Al-Nadi assesses joint flexibility, muscle balance, and walking patterns to determine the severity and cause of the deformity.
X-rays, CT, or MRI imaging may be used to evaluate bone structure, alignment, and joint involvement.
This detailed assessment ensures a personalized treatment plan that targets both symptom relief and long-term correction.
