Penn Foot and Ankle Center
The Penn Foot and Ankle Center of the Penn Orthopaedic
Institute at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center
provides comprehensive diagnostic, surgical and
rehabilitative services for adult foot and ankle

with other orthopaedic services within the Penn
Orthopaedic Institute and employs a multidisciplinary
approach that involves other specialists, including:

of a previous operation

- nail conditions
- heel pain
- arthritis
- trauma
- sports injuries
- diabetic and geriatric foot problems
Along with the routine procedures, the Penn Foot
