Total Talus Replacement for Avascular Necrosis
Mr. Rios sustained a severe injury to his ankle requiring multiple surgeries. He eventually underwent a total talus replacement in June of 2018. This was the first total talus replacement ever performed in South Florida. He is now recovering beautifully and is getting ready to resume full work duties including running and jumping. He is able to do so with the assistance of a modern ankle bracing system.
Trimalleolar Fracture
Posted on Google:
“My husband suffered a trimalleolar fracture of his ankle on 2 Jan 2019 and by the second week of February he is able to walk using the boot without the crutches; albeit slowly.
I learned about Dr Steinlauf through a friend of mine and what struck me was that Dr Steinlauf contacted me even before I was able to contact him. Did I mention that we live in the Caribbean? When we arrived at his office on that first morning we did the diagnostic tests and then had the consultation with Dr Steinlauf. He immediately puts us as ease joking about coming to the Caribbean to provide treatment. That was genius! This is a Doctor who understands the importance of connecting with his patients. He took time to explain his findings and he took time to explain his treatment plan. He is very professional and all aspects of the care provided was par excellence. Dr Steinlauf is highly recommended! Thank you so much Dr Steinlauf!
His Office Staff, his Assistant Andrea and the Resident Doctors have all been very warm, courteous and friendly. I can most definitely do a referral without reservation!”
Conversion of Ankle Fusion to Ankle Replacement
This active woman had undergone an arthroscopic ankle fusion by Dr. Steinlauf approximately 10 years ago for end stage arthritis. Approximately 4 years ago she developed progressive pain at the joint below the ankle secondary to subtalar joint arthritis. After years of non-operative treatment, she decided to convert her ankle fusion to a total ankle replacement. She is now enjoying a return to an active lifestyle with less pain and better function.
Below Knee Amputation Restores A Good Quality of Life
Enrique is a remarkable individual who has truly overcome adversity. He sustained trauma to his left foot and ankle and endured years of pain. Despite multiple surgeries, he developed a chronic infection and did not heal. He presented to Dr. Steinlauf in 2018. After reviewing Enrique’s options, Dr. Steinlauf recommended a below knee amputation as the best treatment to improve Enrique’s quality of life. We present Enrique’s story from his perspective.
