Ankle Replacement: Are Patients with Ankle Arthritis Good Candidates?

Linda Childers  |  September 15, 2015

Ankle arthritis is a debilitating condition that leaves many patients in severe pain and greatly limits their activities. Until recently, the standard treatment for bone-on-bone ankle pain has been ankle fusion, or arthrodesis, in which surgeons literally fuse the bones of the ankle joint together. However, in the past few years, total ankle replacement surgery,…

RA Diagnosis Uses Lab Tests, Clinical Insight to Rule Out Lyme

Charles Radis, DO  |  August 18, 2015

What struck me first as I walked by the exam room where Lynn P. sat was the swelling in her fingers and wrists. The bloated hands rested unnaturally on her thighs, palms up, fingers slightly flexed.
