Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions does a foot and ankle surgeon treat?

Foot and ankle specialists treat problems involving the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and soft tissues of the foot and ankle.

Can ankle fractures be treated without surgery?

Some ankle fractures can be treated with immobilisation. Surgery may be required when the fracture is displaced, unstable or involves the joint in a way that requires surgical correction.

When should an ankle sprain be evaluated?

Persistent pain, swelling, instability or difficulty bearing weight after an ankle injury should be assessed, particularly if symptoms are not improving.

Can sports injuries affect the ankle?

Yes. Sports can cause ligament injuries, tendon problems, fractures and joint injuries involving the ankle and foot.

Can foot deformities be corrected?

Selected deformities can be treated conservatively or surgically depending on their severity and effect on function.

How long does recovery take after foot or ankle surgery?

Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Some operations require a period of restricted weight bearing followed by physiotherapy and gradual return to activity.
