Surgery or PRP? 5 Key Factors I Consider as a Foot & Ankle Surgeon 🦶⚖️
Deciding between surgery and regenerative treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) isn’t always straightforward. In this video, Dr. Keith Bangart, DPM, breaks down the 5 crucial things he evaluates before recommending the best option for your foot or ankle injury:

1️⃣ Severity of the Injury — How bad is the damage?
2️⃣ Duration of Pain — How long have you been hurting?
3️⃣ Imaging Results — What do X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasounds show?
4️⃣ Previous Treatments and Failures — What’s worked or not worked so far?
5️⃣ Lifestyle and Recovery Goals — What’s your activity level and how quickly do you need to get back?

Understanding these factors helps you and your doctor make the safest, most effective choice for healing and long-term foot health.
