About me
Professor Arul Ramasamy is a Consultant Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeon practising in
Milton Keynes and Northampton. His practice is dedicated solely to foot and ankle surgery, and
his patient-centred, research-driven approach means every treatment plan is focused on the individual needs and outcomes of each patient. He sees over 750 patients each year with a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. He believes that to achieve the best possible outcomes for patients, it involves engaging them in the decision-making process and utilising non-operative techniques where possible. Should surgery be required, Professor Ramasamy believes that the best results come from meticulous planning and precise execution.
