Physical therapy is initiated at the same time patients start in the walking boot (at 2 weeks). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1620526380952-ZALQURA48OXR87LF2PUF/Achilles+tendon+repair+surgery Conditions - Achilles Ruptures The Achilles tendon is traditionally repaired through a 3-inch surgical incision on the back of the heel. Strong non-absorbable suture is used to pull the top part of the tendon back down to the bottom part of the tendon. Tension of the muscle is compared to the other side for a perfect match. The repair is reinforced with additional absorbable suture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1620526254731-G29D6P5A8S1XPGYCR30L/Achilles+rupture Conditions - Achilles Ruptures At the time of an Achilles rupture, Athletes may feel as though they have been kicked or struck with a ball in the back of the leg, or they may feel or hear a pop.

Additional calcification often forms within the attachment of the unhealthy tendon, causing a “bone spur.” Patients can often feel the Haglund’s deformity and bone spur on their heel, where they create difficulty with shoe wear. As a result, the prominence has become colloquially known as “pump bump.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1620426880486-321UOV8CU5F1UWO9C0U0/Achilles+tendonitis+2.jpg Conditions - Achilles Tendonitis - Insertional Achilles tendonitis on MRI The Achilles tendon demonstrates thickening, inflammation, and degeneration as it passes by the Haglund’s deformity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1620527423036-TU4IC83N0Q4H8P127SIQ/Achilles+stretching Conditions - Achilles Tendonitis Treatment for Achilles tendonitis starts with boot immobilization in most patients. After this, the most important part of treatment begins — the exercise program. Dr. Bohl will prescribe daily exercises for you, and likely recommend formal physical therapy. The focus of these exercises and therapy is on stretching and strengthening of the calf musculature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1624913781174-Y4PLBIJM5HIMNNUNSHIV/PRP Conditions - Achilles Tendonitis - Make it stand out Platelet rich plasma uses your body’s own progenitor cells to decrease inflammation and regenerate tissue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1620474574384-L60FQ3CVDEKM9PK6OZ4A/Achilles+Haglund+before+excision.jpg Conditions - Achilles Tendonitis - Before surgery for insertional Achilles tendonitis Before surgical treatment for insertional Achilles tendonitis, the Haglund’s deformity and bone spur are visible within the circle.

The focus will be on proprioception and strengthening of the musculature that supports the ankle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1613507949109-WDKNI14THDZ8ET415PC2/Lateral+ankle+diagram.png Conditions - Ankle Instability - Make it stand out The most important ligament of the ankle is the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL). This is the ligament that is injured when you sprain your ankle. In the case of recurrent ankle sprains, the ATFL becomes permanently weakened, contributing to a vicious cycle of episodes of instability and damage to the lateral ligaments and the ankle itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1621696673778-H399AYVFPNOS3OQSRP8Q/Normal+ATFL.jpg Conditions - Ankle Instability - Normal ATFL on MRI Normally, the anterior talo-fibular ligament (ATFL) can be visualized as a thick, dark, healthy ligament that connects the talus and the fibula. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1621696677730-NUIA2WKDQAG1AUJSGEIZ/Attenuated+ATFL.jpg Conditions - Ankle Instability - Diseased ATFL on MRI With recurrent ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability, the anterior talo-fibular ligament (ATFL) appears as an unhealthy, thickened, gray, poorly defined structure that insufficiently and and only loosely connects the talus and fibula. https://www.danielbohl.com/conditions/sesamoiditis monthly 0.5 2021-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1621690817052-23SGJD7E86PVM8B1JOTZ/Sesamoid+AP+foot.jpg Conditions - Sesamoiditis - Front view of foot showing normal sesamoid bones This front view of the foot shows healthy medial and lateral sesamoid bones in their normal location under the 1st metatarsal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1621690815836-4S31GX30Z1UNVS1PWTX7/Sesamoid+lateral+foot.jpg Conditions - Sesamoiditis - Side view of the foot showing normal sesamoid bones This side view of the foot shows healthy sesamoid bones in their normal location under the 1st metatarsal.

Our goal is to make your experience in Chicago as positive and productive as possible. If you are traveling to from out-of-state, please let us know so we can do our best to optimally and efficiently accommodate you. If traveling for your consult, Dr. Bohl recommends booking a Monday morning appointment at the Rush Main Campus in downtown Chicago (1611 W. Harrison). This facility has the most options in terms of same-day CT/MRI if needed, and beginning the day early gives us the most time to get these scans done. It is very important for patients traveling to their appointments to bring complete sets of records, including all prior operative reports, MRI/CT radiologist reports, and MRI/CT image CDs (containing the actual pictures). Every MRI or CT scan should have both a paper radiologist report and a CD with images. Please do not rely on your other provider to send them to us, as that rarely works. Please give all your records to the receptionist at the front desk upon arriving. Please find resources below to facilitate your visit. https://www.danielbohl.com/injured-workers daily 0.75 2021-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1620527942815-5HDE7SNMFN97B1ORHSOX/Foot+injury+examination Injured Workers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1620527887586-AY4JS4VGNQQG25W7M9D0/Ankle+injury Injured Workers https://www.danielbohl.com/athletes daily 0.75 2021-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f29d4cc762b8a4ff177a965/1613345458409-LMCYWDCGRZ85AD3KR426/Team+surgeon Athletes - Professional Care for Professional Athletes As an orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon for the Chicago Bulls and White Sox, Dr. Bohl is an expert on sports conditions of the foot and ankle.
