About Mr Mark Farndon

Mr Mark Farndon is a Consultant specialising in Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery and is currently working for the NHS at Harrogate District Hospital.

Mr Farndon qualified from the University of Newcastle with a Distinction in 1998, before moving to Yorkshire in 2000 and then to Leeds and Bradford where he undertook his basic surgical training. He was then awarded an MRCS(Eng) and moved onto higher surgical training. He completed 6 years of specialist training in orthopaedic surgery and a further 18 months training in foot and ankle surgery with fellowship-trained consultants. Furthermore, he completed and was awarded his FRCS(Tr & Orth) in 2007 and then developed a more specialist interest in arthroscopic knee surgery and knee arthroplasty during a 6-month fellowship.

He focuses on all aspects of foot and ankle conditions, including complex primary and revision surgery, arthroscopic knee surgery and knee replacement surgery (partial, total and robotic). He also treats foot deformities, arthrodesis of the foot and sports injuries. He is regularly involved in research and also presents lectures to students on foot and ankle conditions. He has also written many publications and has presented his research both nationally and internationally.

The visit was to understand what type of surgical intervention would be required to resolve restricted use of the left knee and what conditions would warrant going ahead.

Emailed Mark after a A+E diagnosis of a ruptured Achilles. He responded 10 mins after I emailed him in the evening and saw him the next day. He was superb from the onset and I knew I was in great hands. MRI scan followed the next day, and the results 2 days later to confirm a calf tear not a ruptured achilles. Mark was just superb and I would recommend him to anyone with foot, ankle lower leg issues. First class. Jason

Mr Farndon has operated on both my knees and am very impressed with the service/treatment I have received. He is always very attentive and is readily available to discuss any details and give advice, both preop and post op, I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Mr Farndon carried out a flat foot reconstruction for me in 2020. The surgery was entirely successful, so when I began to experience similar symptoms on my other foot, it was without hesitation that I made an appointment to see him for an assessment and diagnosis. I travelled some distance to see him, but left feeling completely reassured by his approach and explanation of my foot condition. The assessment has given me the confidence that I can recover and also that if I need him, he is there to help.
