Mr Andy Hughes

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, treating foot and ankle deformity, and functional problems such as bunions and flat foot conditions. He also treats sporting injuries such as achilles ruptures, 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.

As well as managing foot and ankle conditions, I also treats complex multiply injured patients at the Alfred. I have a specialist interest in complex lower limb periarticular fractures and completed the Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons in 2018.
