Dr . McMillen knows feet .
Dr . Ryan McMillen is the rare podiatrist who also has a fellowship in foot and ankle surgery . He is bringing his expertise to
Canonsburg Hospital to provide advanced care to patients .
“ In general , feet should not hurt . They might be tired at the end of the day , but if it ’ s a consistent problem , something ’ s going on that should be corrected ,” he said .
Ankle replacement has advanced significantly in the last decade .
Dr . McMillen uses 3D-printed jigs to guide incisions , line up the ankle joint implant more precisely , and create a better fit .
Some ankle surgeries need a second procedure , called a revision . The new techniques let surgeons correct any issues , reconstruct bones , and create customized components .
These changes often mean shorter surgeries , faster recoveries , and better outcomes . “ With these tools , we can offer replacements to more people ,” he said . “ I always want my surgical patients to know what to expect , to have a realistic view of postoperative recovery .”
