Foot & ankle trauma
A foot or ankle fracture can be frightening and disruptive. Accurate reduction and fixation help avoid stiffness and later arthritis, and where the fracture pattern allows, less invasive techniques are used to protect the soft tissues and get you moving sooner.
What happens
Urgent assessment
Fracture patients are seen promptly, with CT where needed, because timing has a direct effect on the surgical options available.
Fixation
Plates, screws or intramedullary fixation are chosen for the specific pattern, placed through the smallest exposure that allows an accurate reduction.
Correcting old injuries
Malunited or un-united fractures are addressed with corrective osteotomy, bone graft and revision fixation.
