This week at East Coast Podiatry’s professional development session, our guest orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Kannan Kaliyaperumal, conducted a workshop to discuss common foot and ankle conditions from an orthopaedic perspective. These conditions range from adolescent and adult flat foot to bunion deformities, rheumatologically conditions to high arch feet and diabetic Charcot’s foot. The more common ailments such as lumps and bumps were also covered, as well as surgical options in managing foot and ankle conditions, whilst interpreting other pathologies of the foot and ankle that are usually complex in nature.
Further discussions covered best practices referral pathways between Podiatry and Orthopaedic for optimal and timely care needed for conditions such as the early presentations of conditions like pathological flat feet & Charcot’s feet, which should not go unnoticed in the community.
Dr. Kannan is a specialist orthopaedic surgeon, specialising in foot and ankle surgery at Mount Elizabeth Hospitals and Parkway East Hospital.
