As the weather gets warmer, many of us are excited to head outside and work in our yards. Unfortunately, this is the time that ankle injuries can occur. Common ankle injuries include sprains, fractures, tendon injuries, ligament tears and cartilage damage. Surgery is usually considered when there is:
• a broken bone that is displaced or unstable
• a severe ligament injury
• chronic ankle instability
• a tendon rupture
• damage that does not improve with rest, bracing, physical therapy, or time
These injuries sound familiar? It’s probably a great time to make an appointment, to evaluate your injury with board-certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Michael Jurenovich, who has offices in both Niles, Ohio and Greenville, Pennsylvania. To schedule an appointment at either location, just call 888-649-4805. www/JurenovichOrtho.com
