Foot and ankle

Foot and ankle pain can be caused by arthritis and congenital and other abnormalities. We carry out a number of different foot and ankle procedures, many by keyhole surgery.

Foot and ankle surgery is undertaken at our sites in York and Bridlington. If you damage your foot and ankle in an accident and require emergency surgery, this will take place in our trauma centres at York and Scarborough.
