Understanding Foot & Ankle Conditions
The foot and ankle are made up of complex joints, bones, tendons, and ligaments that support the body’s weight. Structural issues or deformities can lead to chronic pain and impaired movement.
- Flat Foot: Collapse of the arch causing pain, imbalance, and fatigue in the feet.
- Club Foot: A congenital condition where the foot is twisted inward or downward, requiring early correction.
- Bunion (Hallux Valgus): A bony bump at the base of the big toe, often causing pain, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes.
These conditions may be present from birth, develop over time, or result from injury.
Signs You Should Seek Help
You may benefit from orthopedic evaluation if you notice:
- Foot or ankle pain that worsens with walking or standing
- Visible deformities in the toes, arches, or heel
- Difficulty fitting into shoes comfortably
- Frequent sprains, instability, or loss of balance
- Swelling, stiffness, or restricted movement
- Symptoms that persist despite conservative care like insoles or supportive footwear
How Westminster Performs Foot & Ankle Surgery
Our orthopedic surgeons provide comprehensive care tailored to the condition and severity. Options include:
- Diagnostic imaging: X-rays, CT, or MRI to assess bone alignment and soft tissue damage
- Flat foot correction: Realignment procedures or tendon repairs to restore arch support
- Club foot surgery: Tendon lengthening, joint release, or reconstructive surgery for correction
- Bunion surgery: Removal of the bony bump and realignment of the toe joint
- Minimally invasive techniques: Smaller incisions to reduce recovery time when suitable
- Rehabilitation programs: Physiotherapy and gait training for improved stability and mobility
Treatment plans are personalized to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent recurrence.

Recovery varies but generally takes 6–12 weeks, with physiotherapy playing a key role.
