Advanced Ankle Surgery Permit
License Description A Connecticut licensed podiatrist may independently engage in the surgical treatment of the ankle, including the surgical treatment of the anatomical structures of the ankle, as well as the administration and prescription of drugs incidental thereto, and the surgical treatment of manifestations of systemic diseases as they appear on the ankle, after the podiatrist provides documentation as outlined below. "Surgical treatment of the ankle" includes all soft tissue and osseous procedures, including ankle fracture fixation, ankle fusion, ankle arthroscopy, insertion or removal of external fixation pins into or from the tibial diaphysis at or below the level of the myotendinous junction of the triceps surae and insertion and removal of retrograde tibiotalocalcaneal intramedullary rods and locking screws up to the level of the myotendinous junction of the triceps surea, but does not include the surgical treatment of complications within the tibial diaphysis related to the use of external fixation pins, the performance of total ankle replacements or the treatment of tibial pilon fractures. A licensed podiatrist who is board certified in foot and ankle surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery, or its successor organization, may engage in the surgical treatment of the ankle, provided such licensed podiatrist is performing such procedures under the direct supervision of a Connecticut licensed physician or surgeon who maintains hospital privileges to perform such procedures or under the direct supervision of a Connecticut licensed podiatrist who may independently engage in ankle surgery procedures.
