Lilavati Hospital & Research Centre introduces comprehensive Foot and Ankle services

Foot and Ankle problems are often either neglected or not correctly diagnosed and hence not correctly treated. Foot and ankle is a complex organ which needs in depth understanding of its mechanics and function to achieve optimum results.
