Shoulder Surgery
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint made up of a large ball (humerus) and a shallow socket (glenoid). It is prone to injury from overhead work or play, as well as age related wear and tear. Symptoms of a shoulder problem may include pain, weakness, or instability.
Our shoulder specialists at The Orthopaedic Group can guide you through the investigation and management of shoulder problems, and provide advice on both operative and non-operative strategies for care.
Elbow Surgery
Our surgeons manage painful elbow conditions such as tennis elbow, bursitis, advanced arthritis, stiff elbow, and muscle and tendon ruptures. We also manage single and recurring dislocations of the elbow and fractures, which vary from being very simple to very complex. We treat nerve injuries or compressions around the elbow, bone and joint infections, congenital elbow problems, contractures around the elbow, sports and work-related elbow problems, and complex reconstructive problems of the elbow. Our group also performs complex arthroscopic elbow surgery.
Knee Surgery
The knee is a complex hinge joint. It is susceptible to both injury and arthritis with frequent presenting symptoms including pain, catching and instability.
Our knee specialists at The Orthopaedic Group are skilled in the assessment of knee pathology in all ages and can help you manage your symptoms with advice on non-operative treatments, as well as the full range of surgical options supported by the best technology.
Our team uses all current technologies including custom planned joint replacement and robotic assisted surgery to deliver accurate operations.
