Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure used to treat severe knee joint damage, commonly associated with advanced arthritis. Damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components to reduce pain and improve mobility. Surgery may be considered when medication, physiotherapy and other non-surgical treatments no longer provide adequate relief.
Total hip replacement involves replacing damaged portions of the hip joint with artificial implants. It may be recommended for advanced hip arthritis, certain fractures or other conditions causing persistent pain and restricted movement. The procedure aims to improve joint function, although recovery requires rehabilitation and appropriate postoperative care.
Complex orthopedic trauma may involve multiple fractures, joint injuries or significant damage to surrounding soft tissues. Treatment requires careful assessment of bone alignment, circulation and associated injuries. Depending on the injury, management may include immobilisation, internal fixation, external fixation and structured rehabilitation to support healing and restore function.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and treat selected problems within the knee joint. A small camera and specialised instruments are introduced through tiny incisions. It may be used for certain meniscus injuries, ligament-related procedures or loose joint fragments when surgery is clinically appropriate.
Shoulder arthroscopy allows surgeons to examine and treat selected shoulder conditions through small incisions. It may be considered for certain rotator cuff tears, labral injuries and recurrent instability. The procedure uses a camera to visualise the joint, while rehabilitation helps restore shoulder movement and strength after treatment.
The meniscus is a cartilage structure that helps distribute load within the knee. Certain meniscus tears may be repaired surgically, particularly when their location and tissue quality support healing. Treatment depends on the tear pattern, symptoms, age, activity requirements and associated ligament injuries.
Posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may be considered for selected patients with significant knee instability following PCL injury. The procedure uses a tissue graft to replace the damaged ligament. Surgical decisions depend on injury severity, associated knee damage and functional needs. Postoperative rehabilitation is essential for recovery.
Sports injuries can affect ligaments, tendons, cartilage, bones and joints. Many injuries respond to rehabilitation and other non-surgical treatments, while selected severe injuries may require surgical repair or reconstruction. Appropriate treatment depends on the injured structure, degree of instability and the patient's activity goals.
Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate and treat selected conditions affecting the ankle joint. It may be considered for certain cartilage injuries, loose bodies or persistent impingement symptoms. A small camera provides a view inside the joint while specialised instruments perform the necessary treatment.
Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique used to manage selected hip joint disorders, including certain labral tears and femoroacetabular impingement. Small instruments are introduced into the joint to assess and treat abnormalities. Patient selection is important because advanced arthritis may require a different treatment approach.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed at the wrist, causing numbness, tingling or weakness in the hand. Carpal tunnel release surgery reduces pressure on the nerve by dividing the transverse carpal ligament. It may be considered when symptoms are persistent or nerve dysfunction is significant.
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses specialised instruments and smaller surgical approaches to treat selected spinal disorders. Depending on the condition, it may involve decompression of compressed nerves or stabilisation of spinal structures. Surgery is considered after assessment of symptoms, neurological findings, imaging and appropriate alternative treatments.
Fracture fixation surgery stabilises broken bones using devices such as plates, screws, rods or external frames. It may be required when a fracture is displaced, unstable or involves a joint surface. The objective is to restore alignment, support bone healing and enable safe rehabilitation according to the injury.
Joint pain may result from osteoarthritis, inflammatory conditions, injury or other musculoskeletal disorders. Assessment involves reviewing symptoms, physical examination and imaging when indicated. Treatment may include exercise therapy, weight management, medication, injections or surgery, depending on the underlying diagnosis and severity of joint damage.
Diagnostic arthroscopy involves introducing a small camera into a joint to examine internal structures. It may help assess selected cartilage, ligament or other joint abnormalities when non-invasive investigations do not provide sufficient information. Arthroscopy is generally reserved for situations where the findings may influence treatment decisions.
