“When my wife broke her foot recently, Dr. Lampe was truly a lifesaver. Despite his incredibly busy schedule, he kindly worked us in the same day to help us avoid an ER visit. He quickly arranged a follow-up clinic appointment to assess whether surgery was needed, and then went above and beyond by fitting her into his surgical schedule—all within just five days!”

Mary presented to the office earlier in the year with a large suspicious looking lesion to her foot. A biopsy confirmed Nodular Melanoma. Her treatment included surgical removal of the mass and referral to Oncology to rule out metastasis. Surgical pathology came back clean, indicating a complete resection of cancerous lesion and whole body CT scan continues to come back negative with each scan. Although cancerous lesions are not common to the foot, make sure to follow up with your Foot specialist or Dermatologist for any atypical appearing lesions.
Maria presented to us 3 months ago with severe right foot pain that she has been suffering with for years. She was unable to work, exercise or participate in any activities requiring prolonged standing. Surgical intervention featured an isolated STJ (subtalar joint) fusion with a tibial autograft harvest to stimulate healing the fusion site. Today marks the first day in many years she is able to walk with zero pain or discomfort.
This pediatric condition also known as “calcaneal apophysitis” is commonly seen in our office featuring moderate grade heel pain which is exacerbated by physical activity. This condition is simply inflammation of the open growth plate seen on the featured X-ray. Treatment is typically successful with a reduction in activity, offloading heel cup and NSAIDs. In more severe cases a fracture boot is used until symptoms subside. Sever’s disease does have tendency to recur, however will not return once the child becomes skeletally mature around 13-15 years of age.
David is fully recovered just over one month out from peroneal tendon repair! Quick recovery is something we take pride in, which is made possible by offering in house physical therapy. Typically post-op patients will leave my treatment room and simply walk down to the end of the hall to begin their rehab process with Dr. Blankenship….One-stop shop!
The flexible flatfoot is a common condition seen in children causing collapse of the arch and subsequent pain with difficulty participating in certain activities. The majority of the time conservative treatment modalities with correctional orthotics are all that is needed to resolve acute symptoms. This 13-year-old patient, unfortunately, did not respond to conservative care and was taken to surgery to correct the underlying deformity with an achilles lengthening, subtalar arthroereisis, and opening wedge (cotton) osteotomy. After a couple months of recovery, she was back running around in shoes with no pain or discomfort.
Steven previously seen last month walking in a fracture boot is now fully recovered after his achilles tendon rupture repair back doing the things he loves!
Lori was in the right place at the right time when she slipped in the parking lot sustaining a displaced ankle fracture. She was able to hobble into our office and be seen right away. She was booked for surgery the following week after x-rays taken in office confirmed her suspected injury. Her expedited diagnosis and subsequent treatment plan put her in position to make a quick recovery with the help of in-house physical therapy. Today she is back walking in shoes 6 weeks after surgery with no pain.
Fractures of the 5th metatarsal are a commonly seen injury from trauma, overuse or even high arches. These injuries often times can be treated conservatively in fracture boot, however can also be surgical based on the patient’s age/activity , comorbidities and fracture pattern. Here is a quick video illustrating the different types of fracture patterns and how they are surgically repaired on a case by case basis.
Steven sustained a true insertional achilles tendon rupture that required aggressive tendon/bone debridement, tendon reattachment with anchor fixation and finally a V-Y tendon lengthening procedure to restore physiologic length and tension. Physical therapy currently has Steven walking in fracture boot with plans to return back into shoes with brace by post-op week 10.
Neglected heel pain can sometimes lead to spontaneous ruptures like this. it̢۪s important to diagnosis and treat in the early stages of presenting symptoms.
