MR EDMUND IEONG
Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon Subspecialist in foot and ankle surgery
I qualified from Imperial College London medical school in 2007. I undertook specialist orthopaedic training in London in the North West Thames London Deanery. During my training, I have had a broad exposure to orthopaedics in general, foot and ankle pathology and trauma. During my national training in the London Deanery, I have worked at St. Mary’s Major trauma centre and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital where I gained experience in managing complex foot and ankle pathology, reconstructive surgery and trauma. I subsequently undertook a specialist foot and ankle fellowship at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford, covering deformity corrections and arthritic conditions. This was followed by a foot and ankle fellowship at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge, with further experience in complex foot and ankle trauma, and diabetic foot conditions. I was appointed as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon to West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust in 2019.
I maintain an active involvement in teaching surgical trainees. I am a member of the British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society and I keep my knowledge and skills up to date by regularly attending conferences and educational courses. I have published research in peer reviewed journals and I have presented my research work at national and international conferences. I am a reviewer of research articles for several peer reviewed journals. I was awarded a place on the BOA leadership programme and I have developed quality improvement projects in patient education and promoting a patient centred approach to management. I have been actively involved with the teaching and management of complex ankle fractures, having delivered several courses aimed at higher trainees and consultants.
​​
My practice covers all foot and ankle conditions, such as bunion, arthritis of the foot and ankle, sports injuries, tendon and ligament problems, deformity correction, Morton neuromas, heel pain, plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis, ankle fractures and tendon ruptures. I have a specialist interest in minimally invasive and arthroscopic surgery, shockwave therapy for heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and arthroscopic ankle fusion and total ankle replacement.
​
I firmly believe in a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to managing my patients. Your involvement and education is key throughout the consultation and treatment pathway.
