"I was in a car accident and compound fractured and dislocated my talus. The first doctor that saw my injury wanted to amputate below the knee, saying I would never walk on this foot again. Dr. Bluman came in and said he could try a new type of surgery, and after 9 times under the knife he saved my leg. This is when he was just a resident at RI Hospital.... He was so nice and personal that my parents had fresh lobster and steamers sent to him.... I remember asking him if I would ever be able to play basketball again, he said if you work hard enough yes!!!! After a long recovery and many years of trying to get the most mobility out of my ankle. I am proud to say I have been able to play full court 5 on 5 basketball now, something i thought I would never do!!!! When I saw Dr. Bluman on TV and he had helped the boston bombing victims... I was amazed that he had done my surgeries and was now one of the best doctors in his field!!!! Thank you Dr. Bluman for saving my leg and quality of life, I can run and play with my 5 yr old son and that is the best gift I could have!!!!!!! I give 5 STARS!!!!!! "

What is Foot & Ankle Surgery?

Foot and ankle surgery is the specialty offering medical and surgical care for the foot and ankle. The feet and ankles are some of the most frequently injured parts of the body, but foot and ankle surgeons also treat damage due to illness, major trauma, or structural disorders.

Foot and ankle surgeons begin their career by either studying podiatry or orthopedics. Podiatrists study and care for the feet and ankles, while orthopedists study how bones, muscles, and tendons work and help us move. After their initial training, foot and ankle surgeons go on to do a surgical residency for three years, studying specifically how to care for feet and ankles with surgery.

A foot and ankle surgeon may treat conditions including:

Sports injuries
Trauma, such as due to a car accident
Surgical management of joints damaged by arthritis
Bunions
Hammer toes
Flat feet
Polydactyly (extra toes)
Tumors of the foot

The care offered by foot and ankle surgeons does not always involve surgery. Depending on the diagnosis, they may recommend non-invasive medical treatments such as rest, ice / heat, casting, bracing, or physical therapy.
