Services
Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement addresses severe arthritis or joint damage by replacing damaged surfaces with artificial components. This procedure alleviates pain and restores mobility for patients with osteoarthritis or trauma. Our approach combines pre-operative planning with cemented prostheses tailored to individual anatomy, ensuring optimal function and longevity.
Total Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement treats degenerative conditions by replacing damaged joint structures with metal and ceramic prostheses. We offer multiple surgical approaches, selecting the most suitable option based on patient anatomy and lifestyle to maximise recovery outcomes and implant durability.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy provides minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of joint issues. This procedure addresses cartilage damage, ligament tears, and inflammation through small incisions, enabling faster recovery while preserving joint integrity.
ACL Reconstruction
ACL reconstruction restores knee stability following ligament tears. Using grafts and advanced fixation techniques, we rebuild the anterior cruciate ligament to prevent instability, particularly for active patients and athletes requiring full joint function.
Revision Knee Replacement
Revision knee replacement addresses failed primary implants due to wear, loosening, or infection. This complex procedure requires specialised techniques to restore joint function while managing bone loss and soft tissue challenges for improved long-term outcomes.

I don't recommend Sam Pattern, he didnt help my husband and only told him to go see a pain management doctor. Which I was so angry and thought he was a waist of time. We went to another specialist and did tests and told us he needed surgery

I had ACL reconstruction surgery done 3 weeks ago by Dr Sam and I now can almost walk normally. The surgery went very well and Sam took a good care of me. Also, as I am with Bupa, I didnt have to pay any out of pocket for Dr Sam and his assistant surgeon, which is a big plus point. Would highly recommend.
