Overview
Foot & Ankle at a glance
Foot and ankle work spans deformity correction, sports injury, diabetic reconstruction and arthroplasty.
Weight-bearing CT and minimally invasive osteotomies are reshaping planning and delivery.
Common conditions
Presentations that dominate the clinic and emergency workload in this subspecialty.
Hallux valgus
Deformity with metatarsal alignment and sesamoid position considerations.
Ankle instability
Recurrent sprains with lateral ligament insufficiency.
Achilles tendon rupture
Operative versus functional rehabilitation debate continues.
Adult acquired flatfoot
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction with progressive collapse.
Diabetic Charcot foot
Neuroarthropathy requiring offloading and staged reconstruction.
Procedures
Core operative procedures, from day-care work to complex reconstruction.
Scarf and chevron osteotomy
Correction matched to intermetatarsal angle severity.
Ankle arthroscopy
Impingement debridement and osteochondral lesion treatment.
Lateral ligament reconstruction
