Joint replacement surgery involves replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial components to reduce pain and improve movement. It may be recommended for selected patients with advanced arthritis or severe joint damage. A detailed orthopaedic evaluation helps determine surgical suitability, implant options and the rehabilitation programme needed after surgery.
Knee replacement is considered for patients with advanced knee joint damage causing persistent pain, stiffness and functional limitations. The procedure involves replacing damaged surfaces with prosthetic components. Surgical decisions depend on imaging, symptoms, medical fitness and the response to non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy and medication.
Hip replacement involves replacing damaged portions of the hip joint with artificial components. It may be considered for advanced arthritis, certain fractures or other conditions causing severe pain and reduced mobility. Assessment includes identifying the cause of joint damage, reviewing available treatments and planning postoperative rehabilitation.
Orthopaedic trauma surgery addresses selected injuries affecting bones, joints and surrounding structures. Treatment may involve fracture reduction, internal fixation or other procedures to restore alignment and stability. The approach depends on injury severity, soft tissue damage, patient health and the functional needs of the affected limb.
Fracture management focuses on diagnosing and treating broken bones. Assessment commonly includes physical examination and X-ray imaging, with additional investigations when needed. Depending on the fracture, treatment may include immobilisation, reduction, surgical fixation and follow-up rehabilitation to support healing and restore movement.
Spine surgery may be considered for selected spinal conditions causing significant nerve compression, instability or persistent symptoms despite appropriate treatment. The procedure depends on the diagnosis and may involve decompression or stabilisation. Careful assessment of imaging findings, neurological symptoms and treatment alternatives is essential before surgery.
Knee osteoarthritis develops when joint cartilage and surrounding structures undergo degenerative changes. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness and difficulty walking. Management can involve exercise, weight management, physiotherapy, medication and selected interventions. Joint replacement may be considered when severe symptoms persist despite suitable conservative treatment.
Hip osteoarthritis causes progressive joint degeneration that may result in groin pain, stiffness and reduced mobility. Diagnosis is based on symptoms, clinical examination and imaging when indicated. Treatment may include physiotherapy, medication, activity modification and surgical consideration for patients with advanced disease and substantial functional limitations.
Degenerative joint disease affects joint cartilage and associated tissues and can contribute to pain, swelling and limited movement. Orthopaedic evaluation helps establish the affected joints and severity of damage. Treatment decisions may include lifestyle changes, rehabilitation, medication or surgical procedures when clinically appropriate.
Degenerative spinal disorders can involve changes in intervertebral discs, joints and supporting structures. Some patients experience back pain, stiffness or nerve-related symptoms. Evaluation may include neurological examination and imaging when required. Treatment can range from physiotherapy and medication to selected surgical procedures for specific indications.
Orthopaedic injury evaluation helps identify damage affecting bones, joints, ligaments and related structures. The assessment may include injury history, physical examination and imaging. Treatment depends on the type and severity of injury and may involve rest, immobilisation, rehabilitation or surgical intervention when indicated.
Orthopaedic rehabilitation supports recovery after fractures, joint replacement or other musculoskeletal procedures. Individual programmes may include supervised exercises, mobility training, strengthening and functional assessment. The rehabilitation schedule depends on the surgery performed, healing progress and the patient's health and recovery goals.
