Mr Venugopal Guduri

I am a Consultant Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Surgeon with extensive experience in managing a broad range of foot and ankle conditions. Since 2019, I have been practising exclusively as a foot and ankle specialist, following fellowship training through BOFAS, and I am currently based at Walsall Manor Hospital while also practising at Spire Little Aston Hospital. My orthopaedic training provided me with a solid foundation in trauma and elective orthopaedic care, which was further refined through two specialist fellowships at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham and King’s College Hospital in London. These experiences enabled me to develop advanced expertise in both surgical and minimally invasive procedures for conditions such as Achilles tendon disorders, foot and ankle arthritis, plantar fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma, Diabetic foot problems, sports injuries, sprains, fractures, and complex toe deformities.Academically, I hold an MBBS from NTR University of Health Sciences in India, where I also completed my MS in Trauma and Orthopaedics. I went on to achieve my MRCS through the Royal College of Surgeons in Glasgow and my FRCS through the Royal College of Surgeons of England. I maintain active membership with several professional organisations, including the Medical Defence Union (MDU), the British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (BOFAS), and the British Indian Orthopaedic Society (BIOS).

I have a particular interest in ankle and subtalar arthroscopy, bunion correction, and reconstructive procedures of the forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot. In addition, I routinely perform treatments for ingrown toenails and utilise steroid injections where appropriate to provide patients with relief from pain and inflammation.Alongside my clinical practice, I am passionate about medical education and actively contribute to the training of junior doctors and registrars. As Education Lead at Walsall Manor Hospital, I play a key role in departmental teaching and mentoring. I also remain committed to advancing orthopaedic care through research and outcome monitoring, regularly using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to optimise treatment quality and ensure patient-centred care.
