Mr Dawe uses a selection of different techniques to try to understand and correct complex deformities within  the foot and lower limb to improve pain in the foot and ankle. These include 3d scanning techniques such as weightbearing CT and lower limb Hi-Rise CT as well as LiDAR scans. He also has an interest in 3d-printing models of complex foot and ankle deformities and computer-aided design of surgical correction for complex deformity.
