Subchondral Stabilization
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed eget eros nec lacus fermentum sodales varius non mauris.
Subchondral stabilization is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to treat subchondral bones (found beneath the cartilage) during the healing process. The subchondral bone is the bone layer below the cartilage in a joint. The subchondral bone acts as a shock absorber in weight-bearing joints and can result in stress fractures if the bone is weakened due to physiological stressors or deficiencies that may be the result of chronic diseases which cause chronic pain.
Your chronic foot pain may be a result of edema in the bone. An MRI will identify edema which can be the cause of micro factures, resulting in your chronic pain. Subchondral stabilization is often used to repair foot and ankle microfractures and bone marrow edema. During the procedure, a bone substitute material is injected to stabilize bones compromised due to defects, lesions, or fractures. The material that is injected is replaced by new bone during the healing process.
Patients who experience chronic foot and ankle pain and are in search of minimally invasive treatment options to treat fractures are encouraged to contact Weil Foot & Ankle Institute for a consultation.

Review of Dr. Baker
We tried radio shockwave therapy and I was able to compete in the 2015 World Championships and helped the team win a bronze medal.
Review of Dr. Sorensen
He always has the best interest for me and always treated me with a smile. Always asking me questions, if I had any questions. He always wanted to know more in a personal level about his patients. He's very caring.
Review of Dr. Amarantos
Dr. Amarantos treated me for foot calluses and I feel wonderful. I can walk like a young woman again. Thank you doctor!
Review of Dr. Weil Jr.
I was able to get into regular shoes within a week. There's been no pain.
Review of Dr. O'Keefe
The join replacement in my big toe that he did took away all of the the pain that I had. I had bone on bone. When the joint was replaced, the toe was working perfectly and I was pain free.
