Has anyone been treated by Mr James D F Calder, a Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon who works at The Hampshire Foot and Ankle Clinic, Basingstoke and at Imperial College, London.

My father had an operation, which failed, for tibialis posterior reconstruction with calcaneal osteotomy to correct a long history of gross valgus deformity in his ankle. Whereas prior to surgery he could walk short distances without pain, he now has continual pain and subsequent scans have shown that the ‘new’ tibialis posterior tendon has broken. The failure is attributable to post-operation neglect: he was provided with no special footwear to support the ankle in the weeks after surgery.

Mr Calder is a specialist at a specialist centre. However, before contacting him to request an appointment, we now feel that the previous experience means that we must now do what we can to ensure that my father receives the very best medical advice and care possible.

If anyone could please offer any insights into the levels of care they have received under the care of Mr Calder, we would most appreciate hearing from them.

Mike
