Overview
Orthopaedic treatment ranges from injections and keyhole surgery to joint replacement. Good outcomes depend as much on rehabilitation as on the operation, so the plan should cover recovery at home as well as the surgery.
We help you gather your scans and records, arrange the clinic, travel and stay, and keep in touch afterwards. The orthopaedic surgeon decides what is appropriate and explains the options and risks.
Procedures
Hip and knee replacement
A worn joint is replaced with an implant. Recovery requires a structured programme of physiotherapy.
Arthroscopy (keyhole surgery)
Small incisions are used to examine and treat problems inside a joint, for example meniscus or cartilage injuries.
Sports injury treatment
Ligament, tendon and shoulder problems, including reconstruction after injury, with a rehabilitation plan.
Assessment and imaging review
Specialists review your MRI, X-rays and reports and tell you in writing what they would recommend.
