Dr. Fahed Elchami works as a foot & ankle surgery and podiatry (foot & ankle medicine) specialist in Peoria, IL and Pekin, IL.

"Dr. El Chami has been treating me for over 2 months now and we have made solid progress in relieving pain as well as discomfort. He takes the time to explain what he is doing and why before he does anything. I came to see Dr. El Chami after 2 years of treatment by another podiatrist which gave me no comfort. I was experiencing severe fungal infections on one foot and hammer toe on the same foot. Pain and discomfort were an everyday experience for me as well as more severe pain at night if the sheets touched my infected toes. I would recommend Dr. El Chami to anyone with feet problems and would hope they have the same results I have experienced."

What is Foot & Ankle Surgery?

Foot and ankle surgery is the specialty offering medical and surgical care for the foot and ankle. The feet and ankles are some of the most frequently injured parts of the body, but foot and ankle surgeons also treat damage due to illness, major trauma, or structural disorders.

Foot and ankle surgeons begin their career by either studying podiatry or orthopedics. Podiatrists study and care for the feet and ankles, while orthopedists study how bones, muscles, and tendons work and help us move. After their initial training, foot and ankle surgeons go on to do a surgical residency for three years, studying specifically how to care for feet and ankles with surgery.

A foot and ankle surgeon may treat conditions including:

Sports injuries
Trauma, such as due to a car accident
Surgical management of joints damaged by arthritis
Bunions
Hammer toes
Flat feet
Polydactyly (extra toes)
Tumors of the foot

The care offered by foot and ankle surgeons does not always involve surgery. Depending on the diagnosis, they may recommend non-invasive medical treatments such as rest, ice / heat, casting, bracing, or physical therapy.
