Biography

Dr John Du is a Melbourne-based orthopaedic surgeon specialising in foot and ankle surgery and treats the full spectrum of adult foot and ankle conditions. He has advanced subspecialty fellowship training in Foot and Ankle Surgery at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, one of the largest dedicated foot and ankle units in the UK.

He also had the privilege of being selected to represent Australia in the EFAS-AOFAS-NZOFAS travelling fellowship, an exchange between the European and Australasian Foot and Ankle Societies. He was fortunate enough to study under some of the leading foot ankle surgeons across Europe.

Dr Du has special interests in treating sporting injuries such as lateral ankle ligament injuries, Lisfranc injuries and disorders of the achilles tendon, and is committed to getting his patients back to their highest level of function. He also undertook extensive subspecialty training in performing Total Ankle Replacements and approaches each case individually to determine whether patients are suitable for the operation.
