Foot and ankle problems can stop you in your tracks. Nathan Boes, MD is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and fellowship-trained in Sports Medicine, providing comprehensive care for foot and ankle injuries in Frisco and the North Dallas area. Dr. Boes emphasizes conservative, non-surgical care first, with advanced surgical options—like minimally invasive PARS Achilles repair and ankle ligament reconstruction—when they clearly improve function and durability.
Caring for patients from Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, Little Elm, The Colony, and across North Dallas/DFW.
Common Foot & Ankle Conditions & Injuries
Sudden calf/heel pain and loss of push-off; often a pop during sports or a misstep.
Recurring “give-way,” swelling, and sprains after ligament stretching/tears.
Lateral ligament injuries ranging from mild sprain to high-grade tears.
Midfoot ligament/bone injury causing swelling, bruising, and difficulty weight-bearing.
Foot & Ankle Treatments & Procedures
Non-Surgical Treatment & Management
- RICE protocol, protected weight-bearing, and functional bracing
- Physical therapy focused on mobility, balance/proprioception, and return-to-activity progressions
- Activity/load modification and footwear/orthotic guidance
- Injections when indicated for pain and inflammation control
Achilles Tendon
- Minimally Invasive PARS Achilles Tendon Repair — percutaneous technique designed to reduce incision size and soft-tissue trauma while restoring tendon continuity
- Non-operative functional rehab for select ruptures after shared decision-making
Ligaments & Instability
- Ankle Ligament Reconstruction/Repair — stabilizes chronic lateral instability (e.g., modified Broström-type procedures), often paired with proprioceptive rehab
Personalized Treatment Plans for Every Patient
Evaluation & Diagnosis
- Focused history and hands-on exam (instability testing, Thompson test, midfoot stress)
- X-rays to assess alignment and fractures; MRI/ultrasound when tendon/ligament detail is needed
- Clear explanation of findings with a step-wise treatment plan aligned to your activity and goals
Non-Surgical Care Comes First
- Progressive rehab protocols for sprains and select Achilles ruptures
- Balance/strength training to reduce re-injury risk
- Bracing/taping strategies for return to sport/work
- Education on footwear, surface/training adjustments, and prevention
Surgical Expertise (When Needed)
When pain, mechanical symptoms, or instability persist—or when fractures are displaced—Dr. Boes offers evidence-based surgical options, including PARS Achilles repair, ankle ligament reconstruction/repair, and ORIF for ankle or Lisfranc injuries. All procedures pair with a structured rehabilitation plan for safe, confident return to activity.
