Mr Karuppiah, who is the only surgeon to offer minimally-invasive surgery to treat bunions in East Midlands region, advocates for individualised surgery and professional care for his patients.

His subspecialties also include rheumatoid foot and ankle, diabetic foot and tendo-achilles treatment as well as ankle ligament reconstruction, ankle arthroscopy and big toe arthritis (Hallux Rigidus).
