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.
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.
Sports Injury and Trauma
Sports injuries are common and can affect athletes at all levels, from weekend warriors to professional competitors. These injuries can involve bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. While many sports-related injuries are preventable with proper training, warm-ups, and equipment, accidents can still occur. While non-operative measures may be enough to manage some injuries, sports injuries can often be complex and in some cases require surgical intervention for proper healing and to return athletes to their peak performance.
