Foot & Ankle Conditions

Bunions & Toe Deformities

Bunions and bunionettes are medical disorders of the feet and one of the most common reasons for painful toes.

Achilles Tendon Rupture

The Achilles Tendon is a strong fibrous cord present behind the ankle that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone.

Foot & Ankle Arthritis

Arthritis is inflammation resulting from the degeneration of cartilage in the joint causing pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints resulting in restricted movements.

Ankle Instability

Ankle instability is a chronic condition characterised by a recurrent slipping of the outer side of the ankle. 

Toe & Forefoot Fractures

Fractures can result from a direct blow to the foot—such as accidentally kicking something hard or dropping a heavy object on your toes.

Foot & Ankle Treatments

Bunion and Toe Surgery

Surgery is the only means of correcting a bunion. Surgery is also recommended when conservative measures fail to treat the symptoms of bunion.

Ankle Fusion Surgery

Ankle arthrodesis is the surgical fusion of bones that form the ankle joint.

Ankle Joint Replacement

Ankle joint replacement is sometimes recommended for patients with a severe fracture from osteoporosis, or the presence of a tumour in the ankle joint.
