Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses surgeon-controlled technology to support surgical planning and implant positioning. The technique may be considered for selected patients with advanced knee arthritis or joint damage. The surgeon remains responsible for the procedure, while robotic systems assist with precision and alignment.
Computer-assisted knee replacement uses navigation technology to guide the positioning of artificial knee components. It can provide additional information about alignment during surgery. Suitability depends on the patient's anatomy, type of joint damage and the surgeon's assessment.
Total knee replacement involves replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial components. It is generally considered when severe arthritis causes persistent pain and reduced mobility despite appropriate non-surgical care. Rehabilitation helps patients gradually regain movement and strength after surgery.
Partial knee replacement may be suitable when arthritis affects only one compartment of the knee. The procedure replaces the damaged portion while preserving unaffected joint structures. Eligibility depends on ligament function, joint alignment and the extent of arthritis.
Hip replacement involves replacing damaged portions of the hip joint with prosthetic components. It may be recommended for advanced arthritis or selected injuries causing significant pain and mobility limitations. The surgical approach and recovery programme depend on the patient's clinical condition.
Revision joint replacement involves replacing or repairing components of an existing artificial joint. It may be required because of implant loosening, infection, instability or wear. Detailed imaging and clinical evaluation help determine the appropriate revision strategy.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera and specialised instruments to examine or treat selected joint problems. It may be used for certain meniscal injuries and other conditions, depending on symptoms and clinical findings.
Ligament reconstruction may be considered when significant ligament damage causes joint instability. The procedure can involve reconstructing the injured ligament with a tissue graft. Rehabilitation is an important part of restoring strength, mobility and functional stability.
Sports injuries can affect muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints. Evaluation includes physical examination and imaging when necessary. Treatment may involve rehabilitation, activity modification or surgery, depending on the nature and severity of the injury.
Orthopaedic trauma management focuses on injuries involving bones and joints. Treatment can include immobilisation, fracture reduction or surgical fixation. The appropriate approach depends on injury severity, alignment, surrounding tissue damage and patient health.
Knee osteoarthritis involves gradual deterioration of joint cartilage and can cause pain, swelling and stiffness. Management may include exercise, weight management, medication and selected interventions. Joint replacement may be considered when symptoms remain severe despite non-operative treatment.
Adult joint reconstruction includes procedures intended to restore joint function in patients with advanced degenerative conditions or structural damage. Treatment planning considers symptoms, imaging, bone quality and functional requirements. Surgical options may include joint replacement or other reconstructive techniques.
