The foot and ankle are some of the most injury-prone areas, usually requiring surgery. Update yourself in the most innovative interventions with this Master's Degree"

The foot and ankle are two of the most injury-prone areas of the human body due to their role in tasks such as walking, running and jumping. These are parts of the human morphology subject to great stress and for that reason, they tend to fracture and suffer various pathologies that require careful attention by doctors.

However, in order to carry out this surveillance and apply the correct treatments and surgical interventions, specific and in-depth knowledge is required. This Master's Degree in Foot and Ankle Surgery offers physicians and professionals in traumatology and orthopedics the necessary skills to perform all types of surgeries applied to these areas of the body.

In this way, throughout this degree, specialists will be able to delve into all types of surgical operations on feet and ankles. Surgeons and physicians taking this program will therefore be able to delve into different surgical techniques applied to injuries of the forefoot, such as Hallux Valgus or metatarsalgia, the midfoot and rearfoot, such as plantar fasciitis, or the ankle, such as osteoarthritis and other pathologies.

All of this through an innovative program, completely online, with no presential classes or fixed schedules. The specialists will be free to adapt the syllabus to their own pace, being able to download it in its entirety from the virtual campus. As such, they will gain access to a must-have reference guide to Foot and Ankle Surgery, with high-level multimedia content provided by experts with many years of experience in the field.
