Ankle Arthroscopy
Ankle arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that involves the use of an arthroscope, a small, flexible tube with a light and camera on the end, to visualize and treat problems within the ankle joint. This procedure is considered minimally invasive, as it requires only small incisions rather than a large opening.
Here’s an overview of the key aspects of ankle arthroscopy:
- Indications for Ankle Arthroscopy:
- Diagnostic purposes: To identify the cause of unexplained ankle pain or other symptoms.
- Therapeutic interventions: To treat various conditions within the ankle joint, such as removing loose bodies, repairing ligaments, addressing cartilage damage, and treating inflammation.
- Procedure:
- Small incisions (portals) are made around the ankle.
- An arthroscope is inserted through one of the incisions, allowing the surgeon to visualize the interior of the ankle joint on a monitor.
- Additional instruments may be introduced through other incisions to perform necessary procedures.
- Conditions Treated with Ankle Arthroscopy:
- Osteochondral defects: Damage to the cartilage and underlying bone.
- Ankle impingement: Abnormal contact between structures in the ankle joint.
- Synovitis: Inflammation of the synovial lining of the joint.
- Tendon disorders: Conditions affecting the tendons around the ankle.
- Loose bodies: Small fragments of bone or cartilage within the joint.
- Advantages:
- Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions result in less damage to surrounding tissues.
- Quicker Recovery: Generally associated with a faster recovery compared to open surgery.
- Diagnostic and Therapeutic: Allows both the diagnosis and treatment of conditions during the same procedure.
- Recovery:
- Patients may need a period of rest and rehabilitation.
- Physical therapy is often prescribed to help restore strength and mobility.
- The specific recovery timeline depends on the nature of the procedure and the individual patient.
While ankle arthroscopy has many advantages, it may not be suitable for all ankle conditions. The choice of surgical approach depends on factors such as the diagnosis, the extent of the problem, and the surgeon’s expertise. It’s essential for patients to discuss their specific case with Dr. Parr to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Arthritic Disease
Our dedicated team specializes in comprehensive care for arthritic conditions affecting the foot and ankle. We focus on alleviating pain, enhancing mobility, and improving your overall quality of life by tailoring treatments to your unique needs.
Arthritis in the foot, notably osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, leads to joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness. Osteoarthritis results from the wear and tear of cartilage, often affecting the big toe or midfoot. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition, targets the synovium, impacting multiple foot joints. Gout, caused by uric acid crystal accumulation, can also affect foot joints, causing sudden and intense pain.
Management involves pain medications, orthotics, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. Injections like corticosteroids may reduce inflammation. Severe cases might require surgical interventions such as joint fusion or replacement. Post-traumatic arthritis can develop after foot injuries, leading to long-term joint complications. Seeking professional advice for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan is crucial for effectively addressing foot arthritis.

Bunions
Discover our range of bunion treatments, from conservative methods to surgical intervention. We’re here to address the discomfort and deformity caused by bunions, helping you regain comfort and confidence in your steps. We offer Lapiplasty bunion correction for the proper surgical candidate.
A bunion, medically known as Hallux valgus, is a deformity of the joint at the base of the big toe. It occurs when the big toe leans inward toward the second toe, causing a bony bump to develop on the joint. The skin over the bunion may become red and irritated, and the affected joint can be swollen and painful.
Several factors contribute to the development of bunions, including:
- Genetics: A family history of bunions can increase the likelihood of developing this deformity.
- Footwear: Wearing shoes that are too tight or have narrow, pointed toe boxes can squeeze the toes together and contribute to bunion formation.
- Foot Structure: Certain foot shapes and structures may predispose individuals to bunions.
- Medical Conditions: Conditions such as arthritis can increase the risk of bunion development.
Common symptoms of bunions include pain, swelling, redness, and difficulty with shoe wear. While conservative measures like proper footwear, orthotics, and pain management can help alleviate symptoms, severe cases may require surgical intervention (bunionectomy) to realign the toe and remove the bony prominence.
It’s advisable for individuals experiencing bunion-related symptoms to seek advice from a healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon, for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management plan.

Corns & Callouses
Experience relief from the discomfort of corns and callouses through our expert care. These common foot issues can be painful, but our treatments aim to provide quick relief and prevent recurrence.
While calluses are often not a cause for serious concern, and many people manage them at home, there are situations where consulting a healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist, may be beneficial. Here are some scenarios in which seeking medical advice is advisable:
- Pain or Discomfort: If your calluses are causing pain or discomfort, especially when walking or performing daily activities, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare professional. They can help determine the cause of the discomfort and provide appropriate treatment.
- Recurrent or Severe Calluses: If you repeatedly develop calluses despite attempts to manage them at home, or if the calluses are particularly large or thick, a healthcare professional can assess the underlying cause and suggest effective solutions.
- People with Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes should be especially cautious with foot care. Calluses, if left untreated, can lead to complications such as ulcers. A healthcare professional can provide guidance on proper foot care and address any concerns related to diabetes and foot health.
- Suspected Infection: If a callus becomes painful, red, swollen, or shows signs of infection, such as the presence of pus, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly.
In many cases, simple measures like using moisturizers, wearing proper footwear, and using pumice stones to gently reduce callus thickness can be effective. However, if you have concerns or if the calluses persist, it’s recommended to consult with Parr Foot & Ankle Specialists for personalized advice and appropriate care.

Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction
Discover our innovative approach to bunion correction using Lapiplasty. This cutting-edge technique provides a stable, long-lasting solution for bunions, ensuring a more comfortable future.
Lapiplasty is a surgical technique designed for the 3D correction of bunions, specifically addressing the root cause of the deformity. Unlike traditional bunion surgery, which often involves 2D correction by addressing only the symptomatic bump on the side of the foot, Lapiplasty aims to correct the misalignment in three dimensions.
Key features of Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction include:
- Tri-Plane Correction: Lapiplasty corrects the misalignment in three planes – transverse, frontal, and sagittal. This comprehensive approach aims to address the entire bunion deformity rather than focusing solely on the cosmetic appearance.
- Joint Preservation: Lapiplasty seeks to preserve the natural joint at the base of the big toe (first metatarsophalangeal joint) rather than removing it. Preserving the joint is intended to allow for more normal motion and potentially reduce the risk of recurrence.
- Titanium Plating: The procedure involves using specialized titanium plates to secure the corrected bones in place, providing stability during the healing process.
- Faster Recovery: Patients may experience a faster return to weight-bearing activities compared to traditional bunion surgeries.
- Reduced Recurrence Risk: By addressing the root cause of the bunion deformity in three dimensions, Lapiplasty aims to reduce the risk of bunion recurrence.
As with any surgical procedure, the appropriateness of Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction depends on the individual patient’s condition, and the decision should be made in consultation with an orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist. It’s essential for patients to discuss their specific case, including the benefits, risks, and expected outcomes, with their healthcare provider.

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Explore our minimally invasive surgical options for various foot and ankle conditions. These procedures offer shorter recovery times and minimal scarring, helping you return to your daily life sooner. A common procedure Dr. Parr performs for patients that do not have resolution of their symptoms with conservative treatment for plantar fasciitis is a very minimally invasive procedure called a Tenex procedure:
The Tenex procedure, also known as percutaneous tenotomy, is a minimally invasive treatment option for plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes. The Tenex procedure specifically targets the damaged tissue to alleviate pain and promote healing.
Here’s an overview of the Tenex plantar fasciitis treatment:
- Procedure: The Tenex procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis. It involves using ultrasound imaging to identify the location of the damaged tissue in the plantar fascia.
- Tenotomy: A small incision is made, and a specialized tool is inserted through the incision. The tool, guided by ultrasound, delivers ultrasonic energy to break down and remove the damaged tissue without the need for open surgery.
- Minimally Invasive: Tenex is considered minimally invasive because it involves only a small incision, reducing the risk of complications and promoting a quicker recovery.
- Local Anesthesia: The procedure is often performed under local anesthesia to numb the targeted area, enhancing patient comfort.
- Recovery: Following the procedure, patients may experience less pain and improved mobility. Recovery time is generally shorter compared to traditional open surgeries.
- Postoperative Care: Patients are usually advised to follow a specific rehabilitation plan, which may include physical therapy and stretching exercises to optimize the healing process.
The Tenex procedure is an option for individuals with persistent plantar fasciitis symptoms that have not responded to conservative treatments like rest, stretching, orthotics, or physical therapy. As with any medical procedure, its suitability for an individual should be determined through consultation with a healthcare provider who can assess the patient’s condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
The Tenex procedure can be considered for individuals with chronic Achilles tendon issues, especially when conservative treatments such as rest, physical therapy, or orthotics have not provided sufficient relief. As with any medical intervention, the decision to use Tenex for Achilles tendon conditions should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional who can assess the specific needs and conditions of the individual patient.
