Services
Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery treats end-stage arthritis by replacing damaged joint surfaces with synthetic components. This procedure alleviates pain and improves mobility for patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic conditions. Our surgeons utilise metal and ceramic/polyethylene components with proven long-term success rates.
Knee Replacement
Knee replacement addresses severe arthritis by replacing damaged cartilage and bone with metal and polyethylene components. This procedure corrects deformities, improves joint function, and reduces pain for patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis. Minimally invasive techniques are employed where appropriate.
Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic procedures treat joint pathologies using minimally invasive techniques. This includes meniscal repairs, ligament reconstructions, and rotator cuff repairs. Benefits include faster recovery times, reduced post-operative pain, and same-day discharge for most procedures.
Trauma Care
Our surgeons manage acute orthopaedic trauma including fractures, dislocations, and soft tissue injuries. Services cover surgical fixation, ligament repairs, and post-injury rehabilitation planning. We collaborate with local hospitals to provide urgent care for work-related and sporting injuries.
Shoulder Surgery
Shoulder surgery addresses conditions including rotator cuff tears, dislocations, and arthritis. Procedures range from arthroscopic repairs to total shoulder replacements. Treatment plans incorporate post-operative physiotherapy to restore strength and joint stability.
