Dr. Horton explains what a woman should do if she suspects she has ankle arthritis and what type of doctor she should see.
Dr. Horton:
If you suspect you have ankle arthritis, I believe that you will get the best care from an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist. This is a medical doctor that has completed a residency in orthopedic surgery as well as sub-specialized training in foot and ankle reconstruction.
If you are looking for an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist, I would suggest that number one, you consult with your family physician to see who is on their referral list. Oftentimes you can also get to referrals from the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society as well as the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
