Foot And Ankle Surgery

Podiatric Surgeons are regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

An explanation of What a Podiatric Surgeon is

Podiatric Surgery can be an effective way to alleviate the pain associated with some painful foot problems. It is strongly recommended that all non surgical management options are exhausted before considering surgery. The options and the risks and benefits of these will be discussed with you in detail during your patient journey.

Only when pain or significant dysfunction persists after trying the non surgical treatments should you consider surgery. Surgery should not be considered to improve the appearance of the foot.

After foot surgery, the majority of patients are satisfied with the outcome. However, undergoing any invasive procedure comes with some element of risk. The risks associated with specific procedures will be discussed with you prior to making a decision to proceed with surgery. However, the more common problems after surgery can include pain, swelling, stiffness, infection and bleeding.
