Foot and ankle surgery is a specialized branch of orthopaedic surgery which deals with various foot pathologies. Diagnosing foot and ankle ailments requires specialized training and the surgeon needs to be well versed with the anatomy and biomechanics of the human foot. More often than not foot problems go undiagnosed leading to a lot of morbidity on the part of the patient.

Hence the initiative to launch a dedicated foot and ankle surgery website.
