Ankle Arthroscopy Testimonials

Ankle Arthroscopy for Osteochondral Defect OCD
In July 2006 I fell off my horse and broke the talus bone in my foot. After 16 months I was still suffering with discomfort in the foot, I had very poor walking gait and my muscles were very tight and tired easily. I decided to get a second opinion and was recommended to see Mark Herron.
I was seen very promptly an xray and MRI scan were all done on the same day. The scan revealed I had a piece of loose bone at the top of the talus and a build up of scar tissue. This meant a small operation using keyhole surgery needed to be performed, a date was fixed at my convenience.
The operation was performed and all went well. Only a few hours after the operation I could already feel the difference. The foot was immediately more mobile. I then had 6 weeks of non-weight bearing, after that I was able to start rehabilitation. After 6 months my foot is back to normal. It was such a relief to regain full use of my foot, I am very grateful to Mark Herron.

Ankle Arthroscopy
I received 1st class surgery and treatment to my left ankle at the Foot and Ankle Clinic under Mr Mark Herron. With much improved range in my ankle I experienced less pain and a tidy scar.
I would recommend the Foot and Ankle Clinic to anyone and definitely would return.

Subtalar Arthroscopy
I was first referred to the Foot and Ankle Clinic by my physiotherapist who described Mark Herron as the very best in the field locally. Subsequently in discussion with an orthopaedic consultant I heard exactly the same comment and my own experience preoperative; whilst in hospital and post operative only supports their professional opinions.
