I am a Foot and Ankle Surgeon and Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeon based in Melbourne. I see patients in the public and private sector who are suffering from foot and ankle pain and loss of function.
My work includes treating arthritic conditions affecting the foot and ankle as well as treating foot and ankle deformity and functional problems such as bunions and flat foot conditions. I also treat sporting injuries affecting the foot and ankle such as achilles ruptures and ankle sprains as well as traumatic fractures.
I qualified from Southampton University Medical School, UK, and subsequently undertook specialist orthopaedic training in the Southwest of England. I was awarded a Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology in 2013.
In 2015 I moved to Melbourne with my family to carry out foot and ankle fellowship training as well as fellowship training in major trauma at both The Royal Melbourne Hospital and The Alfred Hospital.
As well as managing foot and ankle conditions I also treat complex multiply injured patients at the Alfred Hospital and have a specialist interest in complex lower limb periarticular fractures. I completed the Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons in 2018.
At Andy Hughes Ortho, we know how much healthy, pain-free feet and ankles mean for your mobility, comfort, and quality of life. Together, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan — using non-operative care wherever possible, and surgery only when it’s the best option for your recovery.
