Bilateral Tenotomy
A tenotomy is a procedure to lengthen a muscle that has not developed properly or that has shortened due to injury or lack of mobility. Typically a tendon is cut allowing the muscle to stretch again and the limb to straighten.
Bunion surgery (bunionectomy)
A bunion is a bony bump on the joint at the base of your big toe.
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment, and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon.
Flat foot correction
Flat foot occurs when the arch of your foot is very low or flattens, causing your foot to fall inward.
Hallux Valgus Surgery
Hallux Valgus surgery is also called a bunionectomy.
Image guided joint injections
If your swollen or painful joints, ligaments or tendons do not respond to conservative treatments your consultant may recommend image guided joint injections.
Ingrown toenail (and ingrown toenail surgery)
When the side of your toenail curls and pierces your skin this is called an ingrown toenail.
Manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA)
Under general anaesthetic your surgeon will move your stiff joint to a full range of motion, stretching the surrounding muscles and freeing the joint capsule.
Tendon transfer in foot and ankle
The tissue that attaches muscles to a bone is called a tendon. A tendon transfer usually is performed under a general anaesthetic.
Toe surgery
The three main toe problems that can be resolved with foot surgery are Deformity (mis-shapen), Pain in the toe joints and Metatarsalgia (pain in the front part or ball of your foot).
