Treatments

What we handle at the clinics, and what is done in the operation theatre. If your problem is not listed, call and ask — most bone and joint complaints fit somewhere below.

Knee and hip replacement

When arthritis has worn a joint down to the point where walking, stairs and sleep are all affected, joint replacement gives back a pain-free, usable joint.

  • Total knee replacement for advanced arthritis
  • Partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement when only one side is worn
  • Total hip replacement, including for avascular necrosis
  • Revision surgery for an old, loosened implant
  • Rehabilitation planned before the date of surgery, not after

Arthroscopy and sports injuries

Keyhole surgery through small cuts, with a camera inside the joint. Less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to sport or work.

  • ACL and other ligament reconstruction
  • Meniscus (cartilage) repair and trimming
  • Rotator cuff repair and shoulder impingement
  • Recurrent shoulder dislocation
  • Ankle and wrist arthroscopy

Biological joint preservation

Not every painful joint needs replacing. In early arthritis the aim is to protect your own cartilage and delay or avoid surgery altogether.

  • Injection therapy for early arthritis
  • Cartilage and bone-marrow procedures
  • Alignment correction to take load off a damaged area
  • Structured strengthening programmes

Fractures and complex trauma

From a child's forearm fracture to multiple injuries after a road accident, fractures are treated to restore alignment and get you moving again quickly.

  • Plaster, splinting and closed reduction
  • Plate, screw and nail fixation
  • Fractures around joints
  • Non-union and malunion of old fractures
  • Hip fractures in elderly patients, treated early to avoid bed complications

Spine, back and neck pain

Most back and neck pain settles without surgery. The first job is to find out exactly what is causing it.

  • Low back pain and postural strain
  • Sciatica and slipped disc
  • Cervical spondylosis and neck pain
  • Osteoporotic spine fractures
  • Guided injections when medication is not enough

Deformity correction

Correcting bone alignment restores function and takes abnormal load off the joints above and below.

  • Bow legs and knock knees
  • Malunited old fractures
  • Limb length difference
  • Post-polio and post-infection deformity

Children's bone and joint problems

Growing bones behave differently from adult bones, and many childhood concerns settle on their own with the right monitoring.

  • Fractures in growing children
  • Bow legs, knock knees and flat foot
  • Limping and gait concerns
  • Congenital problems such as club foot

Osteoporosis and bone health

Weak bones are treatable. Picking this up before the first fracture is far better than after it.

  • Bone density assessment and interpretation
  • Medication and vitamin D correction
  • Fall prevention advice for older adults
  • Follow-up after a fragility fracture
