Arthroplasty
Knee & hip replacement surgery may be recommended if your ability to walk, work, or participate in normal daily activities is hindered by cartilage damage in the joints causing pain. This condition is called arthritis. Replacement is a complex procedure and is not right for every individual. Conservative treatments such as medication and physical therapy are typically recommended before surgery is considered. However, surgery can provide a number of meaningful benefits and significantly improve your quality of life.
Orthopaedic Trauma
Orthopaedic trauma refers to a serious injury of the skeletal or muscular system caused by an external force, such as a fall or a car accident. While this type of injury is not always life-threatening, it can be life-changing, which is why it’s crucial to seek medical attention right away.
Sports Medicine
Sports medicine is an orthopaedic specialty that focuses on the care of athletic injuries through accurate diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Newer imaging techniques and recent research discoveries have improved the ability of sports medicine practitioners to better diagnose and treat injuries. Proper rehabilitation following an injury or surgery is also an essential part of returning athletes to competitive play.
Arthroscopy
Knee, hip and shoulder conditions. These are some of the conditions our team can treat with an arthroscopic procedure. This entails minimally invasive surgery to optimise your postoperative recovery. We’re proud to have all of the necessary tools to provide you with the highest caliber of safe and effective surgical care.
Revision Arthroplasty
While most joint replacement surgeries are successful, a revision may be necessary if the original implant wears down over time or becomes infected. A decrease in function or stability can be significantly detrimental to your day-to-day life, and intervention is advised if a joint replacement begins to fail.

When is the right time to have surgery?There's no one-size-fits-all answer for deciding when to have surgery. Your orthopedic surgeon or other doctors will help you determine when surgery is the most appropriate next step. Key considerations include whether you're in pain, if you're experiencing instability or decreased mobility, and whether the injury or condition is affecting your quality of life.

How long does it take to recover from orthopaedic surgery?Many factors determine how long it will take for you to fully recover and see the benefits of orthopaedic surgery. For some patients, recovery takes a few weeks. For others, it can take several months. Depending on your overall health, the condition for which you were treated and the type of surgery performed, you may be able to go home the same day or the day after surgery even if you had total joint replacement surgery. In most cases, you'll be discharged to your home. In-home nursing care or outpatient physical therapy will maximize the benefits of your surgery. A small group of patients may need to spend a few days at a skilled nursing facility before they can return home. Talk to your orthopaedic surgeon to learn more about what your individual recovery plan may look like.

What is arthroscopic surgery?Arthroscopic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that requires only small incisions thanks to a device known as an arthroscope. It lets your surgeon see inside the body and view the specific area being worked on during surgery without the need for large incisions.
