Ankle Ligament Reconstruction and Repair
Chronic ankle instability or repeated sprains can weaken ligaments, leading to ongoing pain and risk of injury.
Ankle ligament reconstruction surgery restores stability by tightening or repairing damaged ligaments, helping patients return to an active lifestyle with reduced risk of future sprains.
Flatfoot Reconstruction Surgery
Severe flatfoot deformities can cause pain, imbalance, and difficulty walking.
Our surgeons perform flatfoot reconstruction to realign the foot, restore the arch, and improve function. This procedure often includes tendon repair, bone realignment, or joint stabilization to support long-term foot health.

Foot and Ankle Surgical Treatment for Alaskans at Fairbanks Foot and Ankle
Surgical Treatment Options
Hammertoe Surgery
Hammertoes occur when toes become bent or curled due to muscle imbalance or pressure. Over time, they can lead to pain, corns, and difficulty walking.
Our team performs hammertoe correction surgery to straighten the affected toes, relieve pressure, and restore comfort, often with minimally invasive approaches for faster recovery.
Fracture Surgery
(Foot and Ankle Trauma)
Severe foot and ankle fractures sometimes require surgical repair to properly realign broken bones and stabilize the joint.
Our surgeons treat complex fractures, including bimalleolar and trimalleolar ankle fractures, using plates, screws, or pins to ensure proper healing and prevent long-term complications.

Bunion Surgery
(Hallux Valgus Correction)
Bunions are painful bumps at the base of the big toe that can cause discomfort, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes. When conservative treatments fail, bunion surgery may be recommended to realign the toe joint and relieve pain.
At Fairbanks Foot and Ankle, our surgeons use advanced techniques to correct bunions, improve foot function, and help patients return to normal activities.
Achilles Tendon Surgery
The Achilles tendon is critical for walking, running, and jumping. Injuries such as tendon tears, ruptures, or severe tendonitis may require surgery when conservative care isn’t enough.
Our team specializes in Achilles tendon repair and reconstruction, helping patients regain strength and mobility with advanced surgical techniques.
Arthritis Surgery
(Joint Fusion and Replacement)
Chronic foot or ankle arthritis can cause severe pain, stiffness, and loss of function.
When non-surgical treatments fail, our surgeons may recommend joint fusion or ankle replacement surgery to relieve pain and improve mobility. These procedures are tailored to each patient’s activity level and lifestyle.
Plantar Fasciitis Surgery
Most cases of plantar fasciitis can be treated without surgery. However, in severe, chronic cases where pain persists, a surgical release of the plantar fascia may be necessary.
This procedure helps reduce heel pain and restore comfort, especially for patients who are on their feet for long hours or enjoy Alaska’s active lifestyle.
