Foot and Ankle Device
A foot and ankle device refers to medical equipment or an orthopedic product designed to support, align, or rehabilitate the foot and ankle after injury, surgery, or deformity. These devices include braces, orthoses, prosthetics, implants, and fixation systems used in both surgical and non-surgical care.
They provide stability, promote healing, and restore mobility in conditions such as fractures, ligament injuries, arthritis, and congenital deformities. Advanced devices are anatomically designed to mimic natural joint movement and reduce stress on affected tissues.
In surgical settings, implants and fixation devices are used to stabilize bones during healing. In rehabilitation, external supports such as braces and orthotic devices assist in recovery and prevent re-injury. Proper selection, fitting, and patient compliance are key factors in achieving successful outcomes with foot and ankle devices.
