Birmingham Foot and Ankle Specialist

Are you struggling with a painful, sprained foot or ankle that’s not getting better?

Have you been told that you have ankle arthritis, and you’re looking to see whether surgery could help you?

Are you fed up with trying to get a shoe that fits the shape of your foot, or a painful bunion?

Or is your teenage son or daughter suffering from painful flat feet, very high arches or an inherited condition that’s making walking difficult?

I can help. I’m a consultant foot and ankle orthopaedic surgeon based in Birmingham, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield

Why see an orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon?

Foot and ankle surgeons are orthopaedic surgeons who specialise in injuries and musculoskeletal conditions that affect feet and ankles. We’ve undergone extensive medical and surgical training and understand the intricacies of how feet and ankles move, and the complex myriad of problems that can affect them.

I’m Basil Budair, a Consultant Foot and Ankle Orthopaedic Surgeon, and I treat adults and children who have simple and complex foot and ankle problems.

  • Ankle arthritis
  • Ankle replacement surgery

  • Bunion surgery
  • Big toe arthritis (Hallux Rigidis)

Thinking of “going private”?

After the Covid pandemic, NHS waiting times have increased significantly, and many patients are choosing to invest in their health, so they can have rapid, convenient access to expert treatment. I work with all the major health insurers, but you don’t have to have private health insurance to see me. I am happy to see patients who are self-funding, and you don’t have to have a referral from your GP.

Looking for a second opinion?

Deciding on the best treatment for yourself can be daunting.

Perhaps you’re wondering whether an ankle replacement or an ankle fusion might be the best option for you, or if your proposed surgery is really needed at all? I work at one of the UK’s four, highly specialised orthopaedic centres, where I am referred very complex cases, so if you’re looking for expert care, I can help.

I’ll give you plenty of time to discuss your problem, and we can explore all of the treatment options. I always try to see if there is a way I can help you without surgery, and I will encourage you to carefully consider your treatment choice; there is no rush to decide.

If you’re unsure of your diagnosis or have had conflicting information, or just want to find out you’re on the right treatment path, come and see me.
