We are the only exclusively Laser-Based Foot & Ankle practice in SouthWestern VA. International and interstate patients find local accommodations, are able to undergo outpatient procedures, then shortly return home due to very low complication rate. We followup with their local physician to inform him for our procedures.
While similarly named procedures are done by many physicians, our recovery time, postoperative pain, swelling and complication rate might be different. Be advised that most physicians advertise LASER when it is only used for treating warts or toenails. Wart or toenail surgery is an important step forward from conventional measures, but will not be addressed here.

SURGICAL BOARD CERTIFICATION: (ABPS = American Board of Podiatric Surgery) This is the gold standard of the surgical testing boards. For years, we have considered this a basic qualification. But not everyone agrees. Maybe this is because the pass rate for the ABPS exam is only 40%. There are many substitute (read "easier") boards around for physicians to take.
THE HISTORY AND ESTABLISHMENT OF PODIATRY Podiatry had its start as a different profession - Chiropody. For this reason it was a difficult beginning. It was formally introduced by law in New York by the Senate bill no. Since then, advances within the profession can be compared to the advances in other medical professions.
Our practice has conventionally applied the Nd:YAG contact-tip to calcaneal spur resections and plantar fasciectomy. With this method photohydrolysis of the thick pericalcaneal adipose tissue results in extensive water production disseminating the cutting ability of the 1064 nm. Nd:YAG frequency.
Intraoperative small vessel bleeding of these tissues during the surgical approach also interferes with visualization when small (endoscopic) incisions are applied.The specific 532 nm.

The Posterior Tibial tendon used as an autogenous graft serves as an adequate strengthening measure. MEDIAL ANKLE STABILIZATION UTILIZING TIBIALIS POSTERIOR TENDON GRAFT Few procedures about medial ankle stabilization are found in the literature. Those that are written are adequate only for minor deltoid ruptures.
In this section, the various diagnostic modalities and clinical characteristics which assess the nature and extent of the neuropathies are presented. Section three will cover medical and surgical therapeutic measures relating to the specific nature of the neuropathic symptomatology.
VASCULAR FINDINGS AND DIABETIC NEUROPATHY Vascular studies by the Doppler technique demonstrate that in a neuropathic leg the arteries are rigid and peripheral blood flow is increased and associated with arteriovenous shunting.Of significance are the profound vascular differences between the neuropathic and non- neuropathic diabetic patients.
