Services
Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder joint replacement treats severe arthritis or damage by replacing the humeral head with a prosthetic implant. This procedure alleviates pain and restores mobility for patients with degenerative conditions or traumatic injuries. Our surgeons utilise both conventional and reverse shoulder replacement techniques tailored to individual anatomy and needs.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy diagnoses and treats joint issues through small incisions using specialised instruments. This technique addresses meniscal tears, ligament damage, and cartilage wear with reduced recovery times compared to open surgery. Patients benefit from precision care delivered by our orthopaedic specialists.
Hip Fracture Treatment
Hip fracture management combines surgical and non-surgical approaches for optimal healing. We treat femoral neck fractures and acetabular injuries using internal fixation or joint replacement, supported by post-operative rehabilitation programs to restore mobility and prevent complications.
Carpal Tunnel Release
Carpal tunnel release alleviates nerve compression causing hand numbness and pain. Our surgeons perform both open and endoscopic procedures to decompress the median nerve, with tailored recovery plans ensuring functional restoration for patients with repetitive strain injuries or degenerative conditions.
ACL Reconstruction
ACL reconstruction restores knee stability following ligament tears using autograft or allograft tissue. This procedure benefits athletes and active individuals by preventing joint instability and enabling return to pre-injury activity levels through structured physiotherapy programs.
