Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is an uncommon, congenital fetal abnormality that causes disfigured feet.
Some researchers believe that ABS is caused by early amniotic rupture, which leads to the formation of fibrous strands that entangle limbs and appendages.
Contact our office to discuss treatment options, which may include surgical excision of the fibrous band and any necrotic tissue.

What are the most prevalent foot and ankle injuries?
Ankle sprains. Sprained ankles are one of the most common injuries in sports. Because the inner ankle is more stable than the outer ankle, the foot is likely to turn inward (ankle inversion) from a fall, tackle, or jump. This stretches or tears ligaments; the result is an ankle sprain. |
