What Is An Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Specialist?
An orthopaedic foot and ankle specialist is an orthopaedic surgeon who has chosen to focus his or her practice on conditions of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. At The San Antonio Orthopaedic Group, our orthopaedic foot and ankle specialists are all board certified in orthopedic surgery and fellowship trained in foot and ankle conditions. This means that they have all gone through 4 years of medical school, 5 years of residency in orthopedic surgery, and an additional year of fellowship training.
