Orthopaedic Conditions

ACL rupture is one of the most common serious knee injuries that athletes encounter. Techniques for ACL reconstruction have improved to allow more reliable return to sport and activity. We now treat ACL ruptures as day cases, with an accelerated return back to activities of daily living and eventually sport.

Meniscal injuries are one of the most common knee conditions that may require surgery. We can help you decide if surgery is likely to help your meniscal injury, or if there are other options that are more appropriate for your problem.

Kneecap instability commonly affects young athletes and can be a significant source of discomfort and loss of leisure activity. Treatment is often a combination of non-surgical and surgical treatment, and we can help to guide you through what is right for you and your knee.

​Hip replacement is an effective and powerful tool for treating arthritis and related conditions of the hip joint. Most people who undergo hip replacement have a successful resolution of their hip pain and an improvement in their quality of life. We can discuss the pros and cons of hip replacement and help you decide if it is the right option to treat your hip condition.

Total knee replacement is used to treat arthritic and related conditions affecting the knee joint. It works well in appropriate situations and can lead to a marked improvement in quality of life and function for the right people. We perform knee replacement using modern, computer guided and robotic techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes

Some people have arthritis affecting an isolated part of their knee joint. In this case, a partial knee replacement may be appropriate, instead of a total knee replacement. Typically recovery from partial knee replacement is quicker and the eventual outcome is often more natural feeling. Robotic techniques are further improving these outcomes

Rotator cuff tears are extremely common problems affecting the shoulder. Some are due to acute injury, and some are due to degeneration or wear and tear. Treatment is individualised and often involves a combination of nonsurgical and surgical techniques.

Painful, prominent or annoying metalware is common after fracture surgery and can often be removed once healing has occurred.

Failure of fractures to unite (non-union) or fractures that have healing in a poor position (malunion) can occur also and can sometimes be treated with corrective or revision surgery.
