Mr Roland Walker - Professional Bio

When your foot or ankle is painful, it affects every aspect of your life. Whether you're struggling to enjoy sport, walk the dog, keep up with your children or simply get through the working day, finding the right diagnosis is the first step towards getting back to doing what you love.

Mr Roland Walker is an experienced Consultant Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeon who believes every patient needs individual, thoughtful care. He takes time to listen carefully, understand how your symptoms affect your life and identify the true cause of the problem.

Patients see Roland for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, from common injuries and persistent pain to complex reconstructive surgery.

His specialist areas include:

• Ankle sprains and ankle instability

• Achilles tendon injuries and Achilles pain

• Heel pain and plantar fasciitis

• Foot and ankle arthritis

• Bunions and hammer toes

• Foot and ankle fractures

• Flat feet

• Sports injuries and keyhole surgery

• Cartilage regeneration techniques

• Ankle replacement surgery

• Minimally invasive foot surgery

Where possible, Roland always explores the least invasive treatment options first. Many patients improve with expert diagnosis, rehabilitation, orthotics, injections or shockwave therapy without needing surgery. When an operation is the best option, patients can feel confident they are in experienced hands. Roland is known for his careful, meticulous surgical technique and attention to detail, aiming to help patients recover comfortably and achieve the best possible long-term outcome.

Roland was appointed as a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in 2015, one of the UK's leading teaching hospitals. During this time he developed extensive experience treating everything from routine foot problems to highly complex reconstructive cases.

Alongside his clinical practice, Roland is helping shape the future of foot and ankle surgery. He works with a British medical technology company to develop innovative implants and is part of a specialist network pioneering patient-specific 3D-printed implants for complex ankle replacement and revision surgery. He has published numerous research papers and teaches and trains other surgeons through the renowned Guy’s Fellowship program and a number of prestigious courses.

Throughout every stage of treatment, Roland believes that patients should understand their condition, know the options available and feel confident in the decisions they make together. His aim is simple: to provide expert, personalised care that helps every patient return to the activities that matter most to them.
