Services
Total Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement treats severe arthritis by replacing damaged joint surfaces with prosthetics. This anterior approach minimally invasive procedure reduces pain, restores mobility, and lasts 20+ years. Ideal for patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, it enables return to normal activities within six weeks. Our surgeons specialise in direct anterior and posterior techniques, ensuring tailored solutions for optimal outcomes.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy diagnoses and treats cartilage, ligament, and meniscus issues through small incisions. This minimally invasive procedure reduces recovery time, lowers infection risk, and preserves native joint structures. Patients typically resume light activities within weeks, with full recovery in 3-6 months. Our surgeons use high-definition imaging and specialised instruments for precise interventions.
Orthopaedic Trauma
Orthopaedic trauma management addresses complex fractures and soft tissue injuries from accidents or sports. Our surgeons realign bones, repair joints, and coordinate post-operative rehabilitation. Treatment combines surgical expertise with physiotherapy collaboration to restore function and prevent complications like infections or blood clots, ensuring comprehensive recovery.
Shoulder Instability
Shoulder instability treatment includes arthroscopic stabilisation for recurrent dislocations. Procedures like labral repair and capsular tightening restore joint stability while minimising tissue damage. Post-operative physiotherapy rebuilds strength and range of motion, with most patients resuming normal activities within 3-6 months, depending on injury severity.
Lumbar Fusion
Lumbar fusion treats chronic back pain by stabilising vertebrae through bone grafts and instrumentation. This procedure alleviates nerve compression from conditions like degenerative disc disease or spinal instability. Recovery involves gradual mobilisation and physiotherapy, with full outcomes typically achieved within 6-12 months post-surgery.
