How We Help
Durham Bone & Joint Specialists is an integrated Musculoskeletal Centre, committed to comprehensive care for your foot & ankle pain.
Our Surgeon-led MSK care includes both latest advancements in surgery and conservative non-surgical treatments (injections, bracing, pain management, referral for physiotherapy).
We pair patients with the most appropriate sub-specialists to ensure the best experience and outcomes.
Most Common Cases
Ankle Sprains and Strains
Ankle sprains and strains are often caused by twisting or rolling the ankle, stretching or tearing the ligaments (sprain), muscles, and tendons (strain). You experience pain, swelling and a limited range of motion
Fracture Management
Fractures involve a break in one or more ankle bones. These injuries can occur from high-impact activities or falls. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, and difficulty walking
Osteoarthritis
OA in the ankle occurs when the joint’s cartilage degenerates, causing bones to rub together. This can lead to discomfort, stiffness, and swelling in the ankle
Tendonitis
Tendonitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon. In the ankle, this typically occurs due to overuse or injury, leading to pain, tenderness, and mild swelling. The posterior tibial tendon, which runs along the inside of the ankle, is a common location for ankle tendonitis
Bunion
A painful bony bump that develops on the inside of the foot at the big toe joint. Bunions are associated with hallux valgus, a condition where the big toe drifts toward the smaller toes and the outside of the foot
Plantar Fasciitis
One of the most common causes of pain on the bottom of the heel. It occurs when the plantar fascia, a strong band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot, becomes irritated and inflamed
Hammer Toe
Are deformities most often occurring in the second through fourth toes. They cause the toes to bend to the side from the middle joint. It can cause you pain, discomfort, and limited range of motion in your affected toes, along with the development of corns, calluses, and difficulty finding proper footwear
