Foot and Ankle Surgery FAQs
What types of foot and ankle surgery do you offer?
We offer a wide range of procedures: bunion correction, ankle fusion or replacement, tendon repair or reconstruction (e.g. Achilles tendon), fixation of fractures, correction of deformities, arthroscopy and more.
How long is the wait for private surgery?
Once you have a confirmed diagnosis and surgical plan, many patients can be scheduled within a matter of weeks — significantly faster than typical waiting times under standard referrals.
What is the recovery process like?
Recovery depends on the procedure. Some foot surgeries are day-case, while others require a short stay. Most patients will need a period of rest, elevation and restricted weight-bearing; this may involve crutches, an orthopaedic boot or use of a knee scooter. Physiotherapy and follow-up care help rebuild mobility and strength.
How do I book?
You can enquire directly through our private patient team, or ask your GP for a referral to one of our specialist foot & ankle consultants.
