At Dr. Chad Kennedy Orthopedic Surgery our we focus on orthopedic repair and reconstruction surgeries for the whole musculoskeletal system, from repairing complex fractures to ligament reconstruction and total joint replacement. Once a patient's condition or injury has been diagnosed, we will discuss all treatment options.
Osteochondritis dissecans of the ankle tend to have a low level of chronic persistent pain or swelling that is often intermittent with a history of locking, catching or multiple ankle sprains. Ankle arthritis is a clinical condition of the joint that connects the foot to the ankle joint (tibiotalar) that has damaged or worn out cartilage.
Some patients may benefit from surgery to repair a fully ruptured Achilles tendon. The goal of the surgery is to stitch the tendon back together. However, in some cases, the damaged part (or the entire tendon) may need to be removed and replaced with tissues taken from another area of your foot. For other patients, it may be best to avoid surgery.
When you are experiencing pain in the ankle, it is often from a type of arthritis affecting this joint known as ankle osteoarthritis. This condition can cause loss of your joint's cartilage, which in turn causes pain and swelling. When cartilage is lost or damaged, it not only causes pain in the ankle, but it may even lead to a deformity.

Made an appointment with Dr. Kennedy through my primary physician for elbow issues. We sent imaging and set up an appointment. Dr. Kennedy had me have more imaging done only to tell me he doesn't do elbows. That's like a plumber coming to your house for a broken toilet, telling you he doesn't do toilets, then sending you a bill. He was pleasant to deal with in the office, but that's shady business practice.

I'm so disappointed. I came here on a referral , Dr Kennedy suggested I get an MRI. I was able to get one scheduled the same day. I had the MRI monday morning at preferred imaging. I called Dr Kennedy's office back on Wednesday because he said it would take 24-48 hours to get the results back. The receptionist confirmed that they received the results and she would put it on his desk to give me a call. I waited all day Wednesday, I just called back this morning, it is now Thursday. I was just told that he won't be able to get back to me until at least Wednesday of NEXT week! I haven't been able

Nice guy for sure. Not that sure he is good medical. For surgery with him and unbarable pain afterwards. He did nothing for it. Think the is foot infected didn't offer antibiotics for it either. Surgery wa a big mistake. Pain worse now than before!!!!!!!!!@!!!@!!! Finally went down to local doctors office and got some gabapentin for pain. Guess sometimes you just have to do it yourself went to foot Dr. In Clovis said my foot was infected. Prescribed antibiotics. Said it needed to be drained.

He is an amazing doctor. He tells you exactly what is going on and allows you to decide if it’s absolutely time for you to have surgery. I am still going really strong at nearly 50 and can walk over 10k steps/daily. We’re waiting are/we’re (?) wait until it’s time for a change. I appreciate a doctor who gives me options instead of being gung ho about doing surgery on me.
