Mr Nick Savva is a Consultant Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeon with expertise in the management of foot and ankle conditions.

 

His surgical interests include bunions, lesser toe deformity correction, forefoot pain and ankle instability. He also has particular interest in the treatment of tendinopathies, arthritis, and sports injuries, which he works closely with therapists on to obtain the best outcome for his patients. In addition, he has extensive experience in general orthopaedic surgery and trauma of the upper and lower limb. Where possible Mr Savva uses arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques.

 

Mr Savva qualified in 1994 at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, and went on to gain his surgical fellowship in 1998. After a further six years of specialist training in orthopaedic surgery, he gained FRCS (Tr & Orth) in 1997. His expertise in the treatment of lower limb, foot and ankle trauma led him to Seattle in 2004, when he was awarded an AO Trauma Travelling Fellowship. Two years later he won the British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Travelling Fellowship for 2006. During this year he took advantage of the opportunity to work in the world-renowned Brisbane Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Unit with Terry Saxby.
