Foot and Ankle Surgery

• Achilles Tendon Disorders

Most Achilles tendon disorders do not require surgical treatment, however, surgical treatment may be required for certain problems.

• Achilles Tendon Ruptures

This is a relatively common and, surprisingly, painless injury.

• Arthroscopic Ankle Fusion (Arthrodesis)

An ankle joint fusion is needed when the ankle joint surfaces are destroyed and the option of an ankle joint replacement is not appropriate - usually this is the case for younger patients. When there is no ankle joint deformity (i.e. the ankle remains well lined up) the joint fusion procedure can be done through a fibreoptic scope without the need to open the joint.

• Arthroscopic Ankle Surgery

Using a fibreoptic viewing arthroscope, a number of ankle conditions can be treated. The ankle is quite a small joint, and therefore is more difficult to work in. However, with adequate experience, arthroscopic ankle surgery is as routine a procedure as knee joint arthroscopy.

• Bunion Surgery

Surgery for bunions often fills people with dread because of the fear of pain. The reason for this is that previous generations have suffered at the hands of orthopaedic surgeons using ill-designed and painful operations. This is now a thing of the past and bunion surgery can now be undertaken with a bare minimum of pain.
