surgery 
at Burnside

Foot and ankle problems can greatly impact your ability to move and perform everyday tasks. Our orthopaedic surgeons use the latest techniques and treatments to help alleviate pain, restore function and improve mobility, to get you pain-free and back to your daily activities as quickly and safely as possible.

• Bunionectomy (Removal of Bunions): bunions are bony protrusions at the base of the big toe that can be painful and interfere with daily activities. Bunionectomy involves removing the bony growth and realigning the toe to restore normal function and alleviate pain.
• Realignment (Correction of Toes): surgery can correct the position of misaligned toes and improve overall foot function. This procedure helps restore proper alignment, reducing pain and preventing future complications.
• Joint Fusions (Ankle or Toes): when arthritis or injury leads to joint degeneration, fusion surgery may be necessary. By fusing the affected joint, we can reduce pain and improve stability.
• Arthroscopy: a minimally invasive procedure using small incisions and a camera to view and treat issues within the ankle or foot joint. Arthroscopy is commonly used for treating conditions such as cartilage damage, arthritis or joint inflammation.
• Fractures: foot and ankle fractures are common injuries that can occur due to accidents, falls, or sports activities. Our surgeons are skilled in treating fractures and injuries, ensuring optimal healing and restoring function.
• Other Foot Deformities: deformities such as hammer toes or flat feet can cause discomfort and affect mobility. Surgery can correct deformities, improve foot function and reduce pain.
• Ingrown Toenails: ingrown toenails can cause significant pain and infection. When conservative treatments are not effective, surgical removal of the toenail may be necessary to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence.
• Diabetic Foot Problems: people with diabetes are at higher risk of foot issues such as infections, ulcers, and nerve damage. Our team specialises in treating diabetic foot problems, offering preventive care and surgical solutions to maintain foot health and prevent further complications.

Our skilled orthopaedic surgeons, nurses, and physiotherapists work together to ensure you receive the best possible care, from diagnosis through to recovery.

Whether you're dealing with a chronic condition or an acute injury, we provide personalised treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, reducing pain, improving function and restoring your mobility using the latest technologies and surgical techniques.
