Orthopaedic foot and ankle care is offered by the Duke Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.

Duke orthopaedic surgeons perform thousands of procedures each year. Our patients travel from across the country and from around the world in order to experience the quality of medicine that Duke delivers.

Current research includes:

• Biomechanical investigations of the deltoid ligament in the ankle, with the goal of identifying ways to improve the correction of the adult flat foot.
• Clinical research into reconstructive lower extremity surgery
