Foot Surgery. Ankle Surgery. Our Specialisations
From Hallux valgus right through to artificial joints
X-ray checks following successful insertion of an artificial ankle joint.
Foot problems besides colds count among the most frequent medical complaints in humans. Throughout life everyone suffers once from foot pain. This is usually caused by overload from work or sport. Symptoms can easily lead to high-risk conditions. Therefore it is important to recognise and treat problems relating to foot function early. Our medical treatment specialisations extend from correction of malpositions of the toes to complex reconstructions in relation to injuries to ligaments, tendons and cartilage right through to artificial ankle surgery. Of increasing importance are diseases of the foot and ankle joint related to diabetes mellitus or rheumatoid diseases.
