What is foot and ankle surgery?
Foot and ankle surgery includes a range of procedures designed to treat conditions affecting the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues of your foot and ankle.
While many conditions can be managed successfully with non-surgical treatment, surgery may be recommended when symptoms persist despite conservative care or when structural problems are affecting your mobility and quality of life.
The aim of surgery is to reduce pain, improve function, correct deformities where appropriate, and help you return to everyday activities with greater comfort.

What conditions can foot and ankle surgery treat?
Foot and ankle surgeons treat a wide variety of conditions that can affect your ability to walk, exercise, and carry out daily activities.
Common conditions include:
- Bunions (hallux valgus)
- Arthritis of the foot or ankle
- Ankle instability
- Achilles tendon injuries
- Tendon disorders
- Sports injuries
- Fractures and trauma injuries
- Hammer toe deformities
- Morton's neuroma

What non-surgical treatments are available?
Many foot and ankle conditions can be managed effectively without surgery.
Depending on your symptoms, your treatment plan may include physiotherapy, orthotics, footwear advice, pain-relieving medication, activity modification, or steroid injection therapy.
These treatments are often successful in reducing pain and improving mobility, helping many patients avoid surgery altogether.
Your consultant will always explore appropriate non-surgical options before recommending an operation.
What foot and ankle procedures are available?
If surgery is recommended, the most appropriate procedure will depend on the condition affecting your foot or ankle.
Bunion surgery
Bunion surgery is performed to correct the alignment of the big toe and reduce the painful prominence that develops at the side of the foot.
The procedure can improve comfort, footwear fit, and overall foot function.
Ankle arthroscopy
Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive keyhole procedure used to diagnose and treat problems within the ankle joint.
It can be used to remove damaged tissue, treat cartilage injuries, and address inflammation while requiring only small incisions.
Achilles tendon surgery
Achilles tendon surgery may be recommended for significant tendon tears, chronic tendon damage, or persistent symptoms that have not improved with conservative treatment.
The procedure aims to restore strength and function to the tendon while reducing pain.
Ankle ligament reconstruction
If repeated ankle sprains or instability are affecting your confidence and mobility, ligament reconstruction may help restore stability to the joint.
This procedure repairs or reconstructs damaged ligaments to improve support and reduce the risk of future injuries.
Foot and ankle fusion surgery
Fusion surgery may be recommended for severe arthritis or joint damage that is causing ongoing pain.
The procedure joins the affected bones together to eliminate painful movement and improve stability.
When might surgery be recommended?
Surgery is generally considered when non-surgical treatments have not provided sufficient relief or when a structural problem is unlikely to improve without intervention.
You may be a candidate for surgery if you experience persistent pain, reduced mobility, joint instability, progressive deformity, or symptoms that are significantly affecting your quality of life.
Your consultant will explain the benefits, risks, and expected outcomes of any recommended procedure before you make a decision.
What is recovery like after foot and ankle surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the type of procedure you have undergone and your individual circumstances.
Some operations allow you to bear weight relatively quickly, while others require a period of protected weight-bearing or temporary use of crutches or a walking boot.
Your consultant will explain what to expect before surgery and provide a detailed rehabilitation plan tailored to your procedure.
Physiotherapy often plays an important role in recovery, helping improve strength, flexibility, balance, and overall function.
Returning to daily activities
Most patients gradually return to their normal activities over a period of weeks or months, depending on the complexity of their surgery.
Your consultant and physiotherapist will guide you through each stage of recovery and advise when it is safe to return to work, driving, exercise, and other activities.
Following your rehabilitation plan carefully can help maximise your long-term results.
