Foot and Ankle Fellowship Directory

A foot and ankle fellowship provides advanced orthopaedic training in forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot and ankle conditions. Case mix may emphasise arthroplasty, deformity correction, sports injury or trauma; confirm the fellow’s supervised role rather than assuming every listed procedure is assigned equally.

In the United States, orthopaedic foot and ankle fellowships are usually one year and recruit through the AOFAS fellowship match on SF Match.

Outside the US, foot and ankle fellowships are run by hospitals and listed through societies such as BOFAS (UK) and EFAS (Europe), with travelling fellowships and observerships for visiting surgeons. Each OrthoFellow profile records the published eligibility, registration and visa requirements for that programme.

On OrthoFellow the countries with the most listed foot and ankle pathways are United States (50), United Kingdom (38), Australia (11), Brazil (8), Canada (7). Counts are canonical pathways in the directory, not vacancies; confirm availability with each host.

This directory separates clinical fellowships, research fellowships and observerships. The unfiltered Foot & Ankle page currently contains 159 canonical pathways; network host centres remain inside their parent pathway.

No. Clinical participation depends on the published role, registration, credentialing, supervision and host policy. Treat exposure as observational when the official source does not confirm operative participation.

Check the status, deadline and verification date on the OrthoFellow profile, then reopen the official programme source. A historical or recurring programme is not treated as actively recruiting without current evidence.
