Common Conditions

Common Conditions Affection the Foot and Ankle

28 bones and 32 joints make up the foot and ankle complex. These are held together and moved by a series of ligaments, tendons and muscles.

In addition, you feet support all of your weight, with every step, so the forces going through them are significantly greater than anywhere else in the body.

It is the way that the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles work together – the biomechanics of the foot and ankle – that controls the foot and ankle. When the biomechanics are altered, pain and deformity can occur. Use the main navigation menu to view all conditions or scroll down to see the most common…
