Treatments offered

Orthopaedic treatments

Foot surgery

As with many other parts of the body, problems in the foot are usually caused by injury, wear and tear, bone disease or congenital flaws. Environmental factors, such as poorly-fitting shoes, high-heeled shoes or running and walking on flat, hard ground can all damage the foot.

Ankle surgery (ankle arthritis)

Most ankle arthritis is "wear and tear" (or osteo-arthritis) arthritis. Other forms of arthritis exist which can affect the ankle such as inflammatory arthritis, an example of which would be rheumatoid arthritis.
