Application routes and evidence

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.

Also searched as: foot and ankle surgery fellowship, orthopaedic foot and ankle fellowship, orthopedic foot and ankle fellowship, foot fellowship, ankle fellowship.

Compare elective reconstruction, sports injury, trauma and deformity exposure assigned to the fellow. AOFAS match participation and current vacancy status are separate facts; confirm the programme year and host instructions.

Route guidance reviewed 12 October 2026. Programme verification dates are recorded separately.

Clinical, research and observer posts have different permissions. Published eligibility, salary, registration and visa terms must be confirmed with the host; a directory listing does not confirm a vacancy. Network hosts remain inside their parent pathway.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

Questions about Foot & Ankle fellowships

What is a foot and ankle fellowship?

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.

How do I apply for a foot and ankle fellowship in the United States?

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

Can international surgeons apply for a foot and ankle fellowship?

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.

Which countries offer the most foot and ankle fellowships?

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.

What types of Foot & Ankle programmes are listed?

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.

Does a Foot & Ankle fellowship guarantee hands-on operating?

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.

How should I confirm a Foot & Ankle programme is open?

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.
