Regenerative medicine & research focus - As a Clinical Associate Professor in orthopaedic surgery, he has a keen interest in regenerative medicine, exploring how the body’s own cells can aid in healing tendons and cartilage. Personalised patient care - Treatment plans are based on your individual needs, whether it’s returning to sport, maintaining mobility, or reducing pain in daily activities. Your feet and ankles bear the weight of your entire body, making them prone to wear, injuries, and degenerative conditions. You may need foot and ankle surgery if you experience: Chronic pain - If pain persists despite physiotherapy or medication, foot and ankle surgery may be considered. Recurrent sprains or instability - Ankle ligament damage can lead to ongoing instability, affecting mobility. Severe arthritis - Ankle or foot arthritis can cause stiffness, swelling, and loss of movement. Foot deformities - Conditions like bunions, flat feet, and toe misalignment can impact walking and comfort. Tendon issues - Conditions like Achilles tendinopathy, tibialis posterior dysfunction, or peroneal tendon injuries can lead to pain, weakness, and instability.
