- [What are ankle sprains, and how do you treat them?](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/what-are-ankle-sprains-and-how-do-you-treat-them/): An ankle sprain is a common injury that occurs when the ligaments supporting the ankle joint are stretched or torn – in fact, they occur in 85% of ankle injuries. This can happen when the ankle is twisted, turned, or rolled beyond its normal range of motion, often during physical activities or accidents. Ankle sprains can vary in severity – mild sprains tend to be easily manageable at home, but more severe sprains may require professional help. Grading ankle sprains The ankle joint is stabilised by several ligaments, including the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and the posterior […]

- [Diabetic Foot Care: Tips to Prevent Complications](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/diabetic-foot-care-tips-to-prevent-complications/): Roughly 10% of UK adults have diabetes – as a result, the importance of diabetic foot care shouldn’t be understated. Diabetes can lead to foot problems primarily due to two major complications: nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor blood circulation. Firstly, high blood sugar levels over time can damage the nerves, particularly in the feet. This condition, known as diabetic neuropathy, can cause a loss of sensation in the feet. When you can’t feel pain, cuts, blisters, or sores may go unnoticed and untreated, leading to infections and ulcers. Secondly, diabetes can impair blood flow to the feet. High blood sugar levels […]
- [What is Morton’s neuroma and how can it be treated](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/what-is-mortons-neuroma-and-how-can-it-be-treated/): Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition affecting the foot, specifically the nerve tissue between the metatarsal bones. It commonly occurs between the third and fourth toes. This condition involves the thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to the toes, often due to irritation or compression. Symptoms of Morton’s neuroma include sharp, burning pain in the ball of the foot, tingling, or numbness in the toes. Some people describe the sensation as feeling like a pebble is stuck in their shoe. The pain typically worsens with activities that put pressure on the foot, such as walking or […]

An orthopaedic surgeon is a highly trained medical specialist focused on diagnosing and treating conditions and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system provides support, stability, and movement to the human body. It is composed of two main components: the skeletal system, which includes bones, joints, ligaments, and cartilage, and the muscular system, which comprises skeletal muscles and tendons. The health of the musculoskeletal system – like many parts of the body – can be maintained through regular physical activity and a healthy diet. Orthopaedic surgeons often concentrate on specific parts of the musculoskeletal […]

In this article we will go over how you can tell an ankle sprain vs an ankle break, and some simple exercises you can do at home to help alleviate pain associated with ankle sprains. Ankle sprains are unfortunately common. They are the most common injuries in sport, with a rate of 7 sprains per 1,000 people in basketball, and with high recurrence rates.

However, they can also develop on other joints, including the ankles and feet. These painless lumps are usually harmless, but they can sometimes cause discomfort or limit movement. While the exact cause of ganglions remains unknown, they are not cancerous and can often be treated conservatively. This article explores everything you need to know about ganglions, including their causes, symptoms, treatment options, and when to seek professional help from a foot and ankle specialist.

- [Plantar fasciitis exercises for effective heel pain relief](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/plantar-fasciitis-exercises-for-effective-heel-pain-relief/): Plantar fasciitis is a common condition causing heel pain, affecting millions each year. It arises from inflammation of the plantar fascia, a ligament running along the sole of your foot, supporting the arch. This inflammation leads to sharp, stabbing pain, particularly in the morning or after long periods of standing. At London Foot & Ankle Treatment, we understand the pain and frustration of plantar fasciitis. While it can be uncomfortable, it’s treatable! Incorporating specific exercises into your routine strengthens the plantar fascia and surrounding muscles, improving flexibility and reducing pain.

- [Exploring the anatomy of the foot and common conditions](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/exploring-the-anatomy-of-the-foot-and-common-conditions/): The human foot is a marvel of engineering, a complex structure that bears the weight of our entire body and facilitates movement. In this article, we will explore the anatomy of the foot in a way that is hopefully both detailed and accessible. The foot houses a remarkable 26 bones, including the tarsal, metatarsal, and phalangeal bones, working harmoniously to provide structure, support, and flexibility. Tendons, tough fibrous tissues, play a crucial role in connecting muscles to these bones, allowing for coordinated movements. A network of over 30 joints, such as the ankle and subtalar joints, ensures the foot’s adaptability […]
- [Anti-inflammatories for ankle sprains](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/anti-inflammatories-in-ankle-sprains/): Ankle sprains are frequently seen and treated in our clinics. Not surprisingly they are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries as they affect the general population and those participating in sports. In terms of dealing with pain, what are the best anti-inflammatories for ankle sprains? Ankle sprain Treatment The first line of treatment for ankle sprains is based on the concept of RICE, which stands for Rest, Icing, Compression, and Elevation.

And what are its benefits?](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/what-is-keyhole-surgery-and-what-are-its-benefits/): Keyhole surgery, a term used colloquially to describe minimally invasive procedures, has become a game-changer in the realm of foot and ankle treatments. In simple terms, keyhole surgery involves small incisions, offering significant advantages over traditional open surgeries, such as reduced post-operative pain, quicker healing, shorter hospital stays, minimal disruption of soft tissues, and decreased risks of certain complications. Here is a recap of the medical terms used for keyhole surgery arthroscopy: This technique involves inserting a small camera (arthroscope) into the affected joint, allowing for a detailed examination of the structures within the foot and ankle. endoscopy: Similar to […]
- [What is a bone fracture and how long does it take to heal?](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/what-is-bone-a-fracture-and-how-long-does-it-take-to-heal/): A bone fracture occurs when there is a break or a crack in the continuity of a bone, disrupting its normal structure and function. This can result from trauma, such as a fall or impact, or from conditions that weaken the bone, like osteoporosis. Fractures vary in severity, ranging from hairline cracks to complete breaks that may cause displacement of bone fragments. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty using the affected limb. How long does a bone fracture take to heal? Broadly speaking all bones would have healed after 6 to 12 weeks from a fracture. This can vary […]
- [Orthotics for Plantar Fasciitis Pain](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/orthotics-for-plantar-fasciitis-pain/): What is plantar fasciitis Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. The plantar fascia is a strong ligament that runs from the bottom of the heel to the base of the toes through the sole of the foot. It helps to support the arch of the foot and it works like a bowstring. Given that this area is taking the weight of the whole body and more, the forces going through the plantar fascia are very high and it may be damaged causing pain and functional limitation. Plantar fasciitis is the term used to describe […]
- [The RICE treatment for ankle sprains](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/the-rice-treatment-for-ankle-sprains/): An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments around the ankle are stretched or torn due to sudden twisting or rolling of the foot, and the best way to deal with these is the RICE method. Ankle sprains rank among the most prevalent musculoskeletal injuries, often sending individuals to the emergency room seeking relief from immediate pain. Treatment of ankle sprains focuses on reducing pain and promoting healing to restore mobility and function. The RICE treatment The cornerstone of initial treatment for ankle sprains lies in the tried and tested RICE principles: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Some variations include adding a […]
- [What is a bunion? Is surgery needed?](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/what-is-a-bunion-is-surgery-needed/): A bunion, medically known as hallux valgus, is a deformity characterised by a lateral deviation of the big toe towards the smaller toes, resulting in the enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe. This condition typically manifests as a bony protrusion on the inner aspect of the foot, causing discomfort, inflammation, and often difficulty in finding appropriately fitting footwear. When to consider bunion surgery? This question comes up multiple times during our foot & ankle clinics. The answer is not always straightforward but most importantly it has to be discussed with each individual patient. For a successful […]

- [Ingrown toenail causes, symptoms and treatment](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/ingrown-toenails-causes-symptoms-and-treatment/): What is an ingrown toenail? An ingrown toenail is a common condition, typically affecting the big toe. It occurs when the toenail, particularly at the corners, grows into the surrounding skin instead of over it. This often leads to pain, swelling, and discomfort in the affected area. Causes and risk factors Several factors contribute to the development of ingrown toenails. These include: Nail Shape: Some individuals naturally have toenails that curve downward, making them more prone to becoming ingrown. Nail Trimming Technique: Cutting toenails too short, especially at the corners, can encourage ingrowth. Footwear: Wearing tight shoes or those with […]
- [The 5 most common foot and ankle fractures](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/the-5-most-common-fractures-around-the-foot-and-ankle/): Fractures, or broken bones, are common and temporary debilitating injuries. However, with appropriate treatment, patients can often regain their previous level of activity. Given the importance of feet and ankles for daily life, knowledge of common foot and ankle fractures is incredibly useful should you ever suspect injury. Orthopaedic surgeons specialise in the treatment of fractures. Due to the complexity and advances in the medical field, as orthopaedic specialists we tend to subspecialise and work on one particular area or joint in the body. As a foot and ankle orthopaedic consultant I frequently see and treat fractures around the foot and […]
- [Athlete’s foot - Fungal foot and Toenail infections](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/athletes-foot-fungal-foot-and-toenail-infections/): What is athlete’s foot? Fungal foot infections, commonly known as athlete’s foot, are a widespread concern affecting many, including athletes, swimmers, and anyone who frequently sweats in enclosed footwear. Despite its name, athlete’s foot can affect anyone, leading to redness, flakiness, cracking, and itching of the skin, particularly on the soles and between the toes. It’s often confused with other skin conditions like verrucas, which are localised areas of thickened skin caused by a different type of fungal infection. Prevention and home remedies Here’s a list of the most common steps to take when it comes to reducing the risk […]
- [Plantar Fasciitis Treatment](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/plantar-fasciitis-treatment/): What is plantar fasciitis? Also known as Policeman’s heel, plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Should you need plantar fasciitis treatment, it’s helpful to know that it is a strong ligament or band that supports the arch of the foot and connects the heel bone to the front of your foot, all the way to the base of the toes.   What causes plantar fasciitis? Excessive load or overuse placed in the plantar fascia can damage it and in turn irritate it or create inflammation. The most affected area is where it inserts onto […]
- [Foot pain after running?](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/foot-or-ankle-pain-after-running/): Have foot pain after running? No surprise – runners are known for placing significant strain to their feet and ankles. Unfortunately this means that the running enthusiast is at risk of developing injuries. With the rise of marathon and triathlon practice, a similar rise of runners attending foot and ankle clinics is observed. We will discuss which are the most commonly encountered injuries in the article below. What are the most common running injuries? In my foot and ankle clinic, the top of the list goes to ankle sprains, very commonly seen in runners and athletes. They are actually the most […]
- [What is arthritis?](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/understanding-arthritis-a-comprehensive-overview/): By definition, arthritis means inflammation of one or more joints. Largely speaking there are two types of arthritis (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) which are different from each other in the cause of the disease and specific treatment although their symptoms are mainly the same. In this article we will focus on osteoarthritis which is the most common type, and lies within the scope of orthopaedic surgeons, whilst rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that attacks multiple joints and ligaments; an area of expertise of the rheumatologists. In this case, the immune system unsuitably targets its own tissues and the treatment is […]
- [What is tarsal tunnel syndrome?](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/what-is-tarsal-tunnel-syndrome/): Ever heard of carpal tunnel syndrome? Well, tarsal tunnel syndrome is its lesser-known cousin, but it’s just as important, especially for those experiencing foot discomfort. While carpal tunnel syndrome targets the wrist, tarsal tunnel syndrome takes aim at the foot, specifically the area near the inner ankle, where the tibial nerve and other vital structures reside within a tight space known as the tarsal tunnel. Causes of tarsal tunnel syndrome The causes for tarsal tunnel syndrome can be divided into intrinsic or extrinsic. In the first group we can find hypertrophic tenosynovitis or most commonly space-occupying lesions such as ganglion cysts, […]
- [Syndesmosis injuries or the “high ankle sprain”](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/syndesmosis-injuries-or-the-high-ankle-sprain/): The syndesmosis is formed of a number of ligaments, which as a whole provide integrity between the fibula and tibia, resisting rotational and translational forces. A syndesmosis injury is a type of ligamentous injury also known as “high ankle sprain”. It is an uncommon type of sprain that occurs in 0.5% of all ankle sprains. They can be differentiated for the most common “low ankle sprain” that affects ligaments further down in the ankle. How do syndesmosis injuries happen? The mechanism of injury normally involves an external rotation and eversion force that damages the inferior tibio-fibular ligament located over the […]
- [Running injuries – common causes of foot pain in runners](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/running-injuries-common-causes-of-foot-pain-in-runners/): Running has always been high on the charts of sports and physical activity. During the recently enforced lockdowns we saw a surge of runners on the streets – and, due to the frequency of running injuries – in our foot & ankle clinics.   With sports facilities and gyms closed, many resorted to open air activities or at-home treadmills to stay fit and healthy. Exercise was allowed outdoors once a day, and running became one of the options to leave the home for a longing dose of daily exercise. With a ton of benefits reported from this type of exercise, […]
- [What are Hammer Toes?](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/what-are-hammer-toes/): A multitude of terms are commonly used to refer to deformities of the toes. Hammer toes are one of the most frequently seen, but how can one know if their toe is affected? And is it the same as a Mallet toe? Mr Malagelada treats hammer toes and shares his expertise about this condition, why it happens, and what are the best available treatments.     What are Hammer toes? A Hammer or bent toe is a deformity of the joints of the small toes (normally the second, third, fourth) causing them to bend, resembling a hammer. In each of […]

Surgeons in this discipline employ both traditional and advanced surgical techniques to alleviate pain, improve function, and restore mobility in patients with various foot and ankle problems. Common procedures include bunion surgery, ankle arthroscopy, Achilles tendon repair, and joint replacements. The goal of foot and ankle surgery is to enhance the […]
- [How to tell if you have a broken ankle](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/is-my-ankle-broken/): Only in the UK, more than 1.5 million people attend A&E each year with ankle injuries. It is the most commonly injured body part during sport activities. Many people will ask themselves, how do I know if I have a broken ankle (fractured) or just sprained? There is the saying that if you can move it, then it isn’t broken, but that is not always the case.  Basic ankle anatomy A broken ankle is an injury to the bones whereas a sprain is an injury to the ligaments (the connectors between bones). The ankle joint owes its movement to a […]
- [Bunions or “a stone in my shoe”](https://footankletreatments.co.uk/bunions-or-a-stone-in-my-shoe/): Bunions or “a stone in my shoe” Bunions are widespread in the population and definitely one of the most prevalent conditions in our foot and ankle clinic.
