When all conservative methods have failed, surgery may be an option. In addition to the procedures describes above, the following can be treated more interventionally or even surgically; trochanteric bursitis, psoas tendonitis, adductor insertion syndromes/osteitis pubis – sports or footballer’s groin, iliotibial band friction syndrome, medial tibial syndrome (shin-splints), chronic compartment syndrome, prominent (and symptomatic) heel bumps, over-riding toes and bunions, ganglia and trigger fingers. We have the facility to perform ultrasound and CT guided steroid injections – useful for many overuse conditions.
