21.01.2022 Keyhole Surgery I recently attended another meeting of the Academy of Minimally Invasive Foot and Ankle Surgery in New Orleans. The 3 day meeting, course and cadaver workshops were at the carried out at excellent anatomy labs at the medical school at the Louisiana State University. Being a fellow of the academy it was great to catch up with like mind surgeons and hear what the current research in minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery is showing.

16.01.2022 Damien Lafferty having over 20 years experience in dealing with foot pathology has an interest in dealing with those cases that may have gone on for an extended time and perhaps have not been adequately dealt with in the past. Childhood disorders, sporting injuries, arthritic conditions and debilitating deformities are some of the conditions which are rectified with surgery. Common conditions we treat Bunions...

06.01.2022 Rigid Flat Feet? When assessing patients with flat feet, particularly the paediatric foot. If the foot, particularly the rear foot is fixed or rigid, something more complex maybe present and further in-depth investigation should be carried out in recent months I have had a few children present with markedly painful flat feet that have been treated unsuccessfully for many years solely with orthotics. When the foot is rigid and non-reducible radiographs are essential with possible MRI or CT. All these cases had undiagnosed tarsal coalitions and responded very well to excision of the coalition. If you have any queries regarding a patient this brings to mind, please feel free to contact me. #update

03.01.2022 Bunion surgery is typically carried out once the bunion becomes painful, begins to damage the rest of the foot, is painful when wearing shoes or is starting to impact on your daily activities. Bunion surgery in the past was painful and would often only produce a temporary fix. With modern bunion surgery, this is now not the case, and hence it is usually best to correct the bunion before it damages the rest of the foot.
