• Hand, Wrist, and Elbow: nerve decompression, tendon repair, release of contractures, small-joint procedures.
• Foot and Ankle: ligament stabilization, osteotomies, minimally invasive deformity correction, tendon procedures.
• Tumor and Infection Surgery: biopsy, limb-salvage reconstruction, debridement, stabilization, and antibiotic stewardship.

Sports Medicine

• End-to-end pathways—from injury prevention and on-field assessment to advanced imaging, arthroscopic repair, and sport-specific rehabilitation.
• Return-to-sport testing, bracing/taping strategies, and performance reconditioning for athletes and active adults.

Joint Replacement Program

• Personalized implant selection, alignment strategies, and technology-enabled techniques where indicated.
• Multimodal pain control, early mobilization, stair training, and home exercise plans for predictable recovery.

Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy

• Early, supervised rehab to restore range of motion, strength, balance, and confidence with goal-based progression.
• Protocols for ACL, rotator cuff, joint replacement, and fracture recovery, coordinated with pain management.
• Orthotics and prosthetics support for alignment, gait, and limb-salvage rehabilitation.

Pain and Bone Health Clinics

• Image-guided injections, viscosupplementation, and targeted pain programs for arthritis and tendinopathies.
• Osteoporosis screening, fall-risk reduction, calcium/vitamin D optimization, and fracture-prevention strategies.

Technology and Safety

• High-definition arthroscopy towers, advanced power tools, navigation/robotic assistance where appropriate, and intraoperative imaging as applicable.
• Protocolized infection control, VTE prevention, antibiotic stewardship, and adherence to surgical safety checklists.

Day-care and ERAS

• Many arthroscopic and minor procedures are day-care with same-day discharge.
• Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways minimize pain and nausea while supporting early mobility and earlier discharge.

The Care Journey

• First visit: focused history, examination, targeted imaging, and a clear plan outlining goals, options, and timelines.
• Treatment: conservative care first when effective; minimally invasive or definitive surgery when clinically indicated.
• Follow-up: structured reviews for wound care, pain control, rehabilitation milestones, and safe return-to-work/sport guidance.

Preparing for Consultation

• Bring previous X-rays/MRI/CT, operative notes, and a current medication list including blood thinners.
• Share details on injury mechanism, pain pattern, instability episodes, prior injections or physiotherapy, and activity goals.

FAQs

• Are minimally invasive options always possible? Technique depends on diagnosis, anatomy, and prior surgery; the least invasive effective option is prioritized.
• How soon is routine activity possible? Many arthroscopy patients resume desk work in a few days; timelines vary for joint replacement and complex trauma.
• Will pain be significant after surgery? Multimodal pain control and early rehabilitation keep discomfort manageable for most patients.
• Are implants long-lasting? Modern implants are durable; longevity depends on activity level, alignment, bone quality, and follow-up.
• Is physiotherapy necessary? Guided rehab is essential to restore motion, strength, balance, and confidence.

Team and Support

• Orthopaedic surgeons (arthroplasty, arthroscopy, trauma, hand and upper limb, foot and ankle, pediatric, oncology), anesthesiologists, radiologists, physiotherapists, pain specialists, orthotists–prosthetists, and specialized nursing.
