Foot and ankle

The foot and ankle is a complex joint as it has bones and ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves.  The ankle joint alone is the point where the shine bone (tibia), ankle bone (talus) and the calf bone (fibula) meet.

Whether you have a problem bunion restricting your ability to walk, an unstable ankle preventing a return to sport and exercise or a painful arthritic joint affecting your quality of life, we’ll guide you step-by-step through the process of diagnosis, treatment options and aftercare.

We’re home to a highly-skilled team of orthopaedic consultants, with state-of-the-art technology such as standing CT scanning, to offer first-class diagnosis and treatment to patients with foot and ankle problems. For children and young people with congenital defects including club foot and flat feet deformities, our HCA UK paediatric teams offer corrective procedures such as the highly specialised Ponseti treatment.

Our foot and ankle consultants are located across our leading London hospitals: London Bridge Hospital, The Wellington Hospital in north London, The Princess Grace Hospital in central London, and The Lister Hospital in Chelsea. Our children’s orthopaedic consultants are based at The Portland Hospital for Children, just south of Regent’s Park, also in London. And our specialist foot and ankle teams and orthopaedic network extends to just south of Manchester, at The Wilmslow Hospital in Cheshire and in the West Midlands, at The Harborne Hospital.
