What We Do

A painful ankle or foot has many possible causes, ranging from joint instability to arthritis, and it’s possible to treat almost every problem, relieve pain and restore function.

Mr Monkhouse treats the entire range of foot and ankle problems, with a specialist interest in management and treatment of arthritis in the big toe (Hallux Rigidus) as well as arthritis in the ankle. Other specialisms include surgical management, tendon transfers and selective joint fusions of neuromuscular deformities of the foot and ankle, whether from stroke, congenital degenerative nerve problems, cerebral palsy or nerve injury.

Another particular area of expertise for Mr Monkhouse is in sports injuries, persistent pain after an ankle injury or pain coming from regular exercise, joint instability, mid-foot pain or pain in the ball of the foot when standing. With these interests, Mr Monkhouse has had the privilege of working with a wide range of patients from every age group and understands the complexities and support needed to provide a reassuring and fully transparent process.

• Hallux valgus or bunion surgery (bunionectomy)
• Toe straightening
• Ankle ligament repair/reconstruction
