Ankle Conditions in Hauts-de-Seine
Dr Simon Tournemine
The ankle is a complex joint that is commonly affected by cartilage disorders, including osteoarthritis and osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT), as well as traumatic injuries such as ankle sprains, fractures, Achilles tendon rupture and anterior or posterior impingement syndromes. The principal surgical procedures aim to treat cartilage lesions, repair injured tendons and ligaments, and relieve painful mechanical impingement.
I currently practise at Ambroise-Paré Hospital in Boulogne-Billancourt, a recognised referral centre for ankle surgery, where I manage these conditions using the latest advances in percutaneous surgery (keyhole techniques without open surgery) and minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures whenever appropriate. Ankle surgery is now one of my principal areas of expertise.
