Foot and Ankle Conditions
Mr Jari is a sub-specialty trained Lower Limb Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Surgeon. He routinely treats patients (and athletes) with problems of the foot and ankle including:
* Bunion deformities of the feet
* Big toe pain and/or stiffness
* Arthritis of the big and lesser toes
* Morton's Neuromas (pins & needles in the toes)
* Ankle pain
* Ankle ligament sprains and tears causing giving way of the ankle
* Achilles tendonitis (calf / heel pain)
* Plantar fascitis (heel pain in the sole of the foot)
* Subluxing peroneal tendons (snapping of tendons on the outer side of the ankle after an injury/sprain causing the tendons to flick over the bone due to a tear of the restraining ligament)
Some of the common procedures performed on the foot and ankle include:

* Correction of bunions
* Ligament reconstructions
* Hyaluronic acid injections into joints (ankle, big toe)
