Services
Bunion Surgery
Minimally invasive and traditional surgical techniques to correct bony protrusions on the big toe joint. Our surgeons address misalignment, alleviate pain, and restore function using tailored approaches. Ideal for patients with severe bunions impacting mobility. Recovery includes structured physiotherapy and footwear guidance.
Ankle Arthroscopy
Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using small incisions and camera-guided tools to treat ankle arthritis, ligament damage, or cartilage issues. Reduces recovery time compared to open surgery. Targets inflammation, bone spurs, or instability with precision.
Plantar Fascia Endoscopy
Minimally invasive release of the plantar fascia for chronic heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Performed under local anaesthesia, this procedure alleviates tension and inflammation. Post-operative care includes stretching programs and orthotic support.
Ankle Joint Replacement
Surgical replacement of damaged ankle joints with prosthetics to treat severe arthritis. Preserves mobility better than fusion. Candidates undergo rigorous pre-operative assessment to ensure optimal outcomes and long-term implant success.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment using acoustic waves to stimulate healing for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis or calcific tendinitis. Outpatient sessions require no anaesthesia. Effective for patients seeking alternatives to cortisone injections or surgery.
