anatomy

The Hindfoot consists Talus and Calcaneus.
The calcaneus lies with his Calcaneal tuberosity on the floor. To the front he articulates with the Os cubuoideum (Cuboid bone), the talus rests on top of it. This carries the in its upper part Trochlea tali (Joint roller).
The joint roller is supported by the Malleolen gifts, consisting of

Tibia (Shin) and

Fibula (Fibula), includes.

The trochlea tali and the malleolar fork form this upper ankle. The talar head, on the other hand, participates in the formation of the forward lower ankleWhen viewed from the rear, the rear foot is usually bent by around 5 degrees compared to the lower leg (Valgus position).

Who am I?
My name is dr. Nicolas Gumpert. I am a specialist in orthopedics and the founder of .
Various television programs and print media report regularly about my work. On HR television you can see me live every 6 weeks on "Hallo Hessen".
But now enough is indicated ;-)

Athletes (joggers, soccer players, etc.) are particularly often affected by diseases of the foot. In some cases, the cause of the foot discomfort cannot be identified at first.
Therefore, the treatment of the foot (e.g. Achilles tendonitis, heel spurs, etc.) requires a lot of experience.
I focus on a wide variety of foot diseases.
The aim of every treatment is treatment without an operation with a complete restoration of performance.

Which therapy achieves the best results in the long term can only be determined after looking at all of the information (Examination, X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, etc.) be assessed.
