As such, once your referral is accepted, you will see an assessment physician who will determine the type of care you may need. <strong>Topics they will discuss with you will include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your medical history (medical conditions\/surgeries you may have had)<\/li>\n<li>The history of your foot or ankle problem, including when and how it started, how long it has persisted for, how the pain is, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Treatments you have undergone for your foot or ankle problem (injections, physical therapy, procedures)<\/li>\n<li>Investigations that have been conducted for your foot or ankle problem<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Based on this information, they will then come up with a treatment plan and determine whether follow-up with them is necessary. This may include further tests, injections, or physical therapy. If they conclude that surgery is necessary to resolve your foot and ankle issue, you will be referred to a foot and ankle surgeon.<\/p>\n<h3>Preparing for Your Appointment<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have not had X-rays of your foot or ankle taken in the past <strong>6 months<\/strong>, use the requisition sent along with your appointment letter to have new ones taken. This requisition can be used at <strong>ANY<\/strong> X-ray clinic in Alberta.\n<ul>\n<li>We will be able to view these on the computer once they have been taken. MRIs are <strong>NOT<\/strong> a substitute for X-rays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Have all the information you need ready and available, including:\n<ul>\n<li>A list of the medications you are currently taking (their names and doses)<\/li>\n<li>A list of the treatments you have had for your foot\/ankle problem (injections, bracing, procedures, physical therapy)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you bring the following:\n<ul>\n<li>A piece of government-issued photo ID (like a driver\u2019s license)<\/li>\n<li>Your Alberta Health Care card<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please allow ample time for your appointment. Our assessment physicians work hard to stay on schedule, however, surgical patients sometimes require extra time.<\/p>\n<p>Some assessment physicians are doing telephone appointments. For more information on how to prepare for your virtual appointment, please see our <a href=\"https:\/\/bbe.a93.myftpupload.com\/services\/virtual-appointment-guide\/\">Guide to Virtual Appointments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you have questions regarding your assessment appointment, please contact our Foot and Ankle Medical Office Assistant at (780) 377-1436.
