Due to the complexity of the foot, diagnosis and management of problems may appear challenging, but only a few conditions account for the vast majority of symptoms that occur. Identifying the exact site of the pain often leads directly to the correct diagnosis. Foot and ankle surgery has advanced hugely within the last 10 years and outcomes have greatly improved in the hands of the specialist. The commonest conditions are discussed, including how the GP should manage the patient, when to refer and what further treatment options are available. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
