Mr. Ewan Kannegieter is a leading Consultant Podiatric Surgeon with over 18 years\u2019 experience successfully treating the root causes of foot pain. He undertakes over 800 foot procedures each year and treats all ages.<\/p>\n
The foot and ankle are a complex structure providing stability to the body and performing complex movements and rotations. Sadly, our feet and ankles can develop many different pain-inducing issues and deformities which can have a debilitating impact on our mobility and quality of life.<\/p>\n
Thankfully podiatric surgery is an effective way to deal with many of these problems and often conservative, non-surgical treatments can effectively manage foot pain.<\/p>\n
Solutions such as orthotics<\/a>, pain relieving injections<\/a>\u00a0and shockwave treatment<\/a> plus sensible footwear changes and following sound footcare advice can make the world of difference and avoid surgical intervention.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n However, where pain persists and conservative treatments have not solved the issue then surgery may be the logical next step to treat pain.<\/p>\n Please note: although surgery may provide a solution to many long-term problems it is important to note that not all conditions are solved following surgical intervention. <\/strong><\/p>\n Surgery should be primarily carried out for the relief of persistent pain or deformity. Improving the cosmetic look of the foot alone is not a good reason for an invasive foot surgery procedure.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”3.2.2″][et_pb_accordion_item _builder_version=”3.2.2″ title=”Foot and Ankle Surgical Treatment Options” use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_color_gradient_start=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_type=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” background_size=”cover” background_position=”center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend=”normal” allow_player_pause=”off” background_video_pause_outside_viewport=”on” text_shadow_style=”none” box_shadow_style=”none” text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]<\/p>\n There are many different surgical solutions available to treat foot pain and deformity and the right treatment plan for you will depend on the symptoms and condition you present with.<\/p>\n The most common operations treat the following conditions:<\/p>\n \u2022 Bunions The good news is foot surgery can usually be performed under general anaesthetic, sedation or local anaesthetic, typically as a day case procedure.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item _builder_version=”3.2.2″ title=”Are There Risks or Side-Effects Following Foot Surgery?” use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_color_gradient_start=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_type=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” background_size=”cover” background_position=”center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend=”normal” allow_player_pause=”off” background_video_pause_outside_viewport=”on” text_shadow_style=”none” box_shadow_style=”none” text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]<\/p>\n As with any medical procedure, there are risks which Mr. Kannegieter will always thoroughly explain to you prior to your treatment, so you can be informed every step of the way.<\/p>\n The main risks following foot and ankle surgery are:<\/p>\n All Kann Foot Surgery patients receive excellent aftercare which includes a number of important recommendations to support swift and effective surgical recovery.<\/p>\n
