Research on injections for ankle pain In our practice we see many people with chronic ankle sprain who have a medical history including numerous ankle arthroscopic procedures. They will usually contact out office looking for options to their next surgery which would be an ankle fusion or a total ankle replacement. Why? Because chronic ankle instability is very common and unfortunately prone to re-injury or recurrent problems. Usually, someone being told they need one more surgery will lead these people to more exhaustively research alternatives. This includes the various types of ankle injections. Meniscus tears Many people today are exploring meniscus surgery alternatives. One reason is that there is significant and controversial research to suggest that not only will meniscus surgery NOT help them, but is some instances, the surgery may leave them worse off. But what if you have been told that surgery is the only option? Research presented in this article may provide you with an understanding that perhaps there are more options than just surgery.

Information on failed back surgery syndrome In this article we hope to share with you three main thoughts from recent research.  Who is at risk for failed back surgery? What happens to put people at risk for failed back surgery syndrome before the surgery? What can be done in situations for failed back surgery syndrome after the surgery?
