A member asked:
My daughter has had reoccuring ankle injury for nearly 3 years and has now been referred to an orthopedic surgoen what damage could there be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start simple: The orthopedist will do some tats to see what if any damage there is. There are so many bones, ligaments and tendons in the foot and ankle that it may be hard to figure out at first, but with a good exam and some test they should be able to help you and your daughter figure out what is going on.
