Orthopaedics (foot & ankle)

Foot and ankle orthopaedics is a specialised area of medicine that focuses on the treatment of problems with the feet and ankles.

Our orthopaedic consultants are highly experienced in treating the musculoskeletal system, specifically conditions affecting the foot and ankle. They perform a wide variety of day case procedures to improve and manage foot and ankle conditions such as ankle arthroscopy, joint fusion, lesser toe surgery, and excision of Morton’s neuroma.

NHS patients can be referred to Tetbury Hospital Trust by their GP who will ensure we are included as an option on the NHS-e-RS.

Private patients who are self-funding or have private medical insurance can receive specialist orthopaedic care by speaking to our private patient team. You may be asked for a referral from your GP.
