 So my name is Natalie Dana. I am an assistant professor in the Department of Orthopedics. Clinically, I'm an attending orthopedic surgeon, and I'm subspecialty trained in foot and ankle surgery. I treat patients with a wide variety of foot and ankle conditions. Those conditions can range from ankle arthritis, arthritis in the foot, hind foot or forefoot, sports injuries, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, ankle instability, injuries to the cartilage. I treat patients who have structural deformities, whether from birth or as the result of an accident or just of aging. I treat patients with fractures, with broken bones, and with the injuries and pain that can occur after a broken bone. My care philosophy is to work together with the patient is that partnership. We start with the history from the patient and me listening to their story of what has happened to their foot and ankle and how it's affecting their lives. We do x-rays, a physical exam, so I can get a grasp of what the problem is. Then the patient and I discuss the problem as I see it and what the treatment options are. And then I involve the patient in the decision process as far as which treatment option is best for them. And then we move forward from there, according to the patient's preferences. I offer a wide variety of treatment options to address problems in the patient's foot and ankle. For ankle arthritis, there are ankle replacements, as well as ankle fusions. For sports injuries, there are tendon reconstructions, ligament reconstructions, ankle stabilization procedures. For patients who have an alignment problem or deformity, there are realignment procedures that can be done to restore their ankle and foot to their native anatomy. In the forefoot bunion corrections in the ankle, various cartilage procedures all can be done to help the patient's function. The best part about my job for me is getting patients back to what they want to be doing and also involving patients in their treatment process. I think it's all about the partnership. I do the surgery, but the patient is the one who has to go through the process of recovery and rehabilitation. So having a joint process every step of the way is really important.
