Orthopaedic Procedures
Sports Injuries
Knee Arthroscopy
The arthroscope is a fiber-optic telescope that can be inserted into a joint (commonly the knee, shoulder and ankle) to evaluate and treat a number of conditions. A camera is attached to the arthroscope and the picture is visualized on a TV monitor. Most arthroscopic surgery is performed as day surgery and is usually done under general anaesthesia.
Shoulder reconstruction and stabilisation procedures
Shoulder trauma or dislocations and fractures of the shoulder may occur due to injuries resulting from a fall onto the shoulder or accidents that fracture the shoulder blade or collar bone. Shoulder injuries are common, and nearly everyone injures their shoulder at some point in life.
Knee ligament reconstruction – ACL
Knee ligament reconstruction – ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is a surgical procedure to replace the torn ligament in your knee with a new one. The ACL is one of four main ligaments in the knee, and it helps to keep your knee stable. When you have an ACL tear, your knee can become unstable and painful.
Knee replacement surgery
If your knee is severely damaged by arthritis or injury, it may be hard for you to perform simple activities, such as walking or climbing stairs. You may even begin to feel pain while you are sitting or lying down. If nonsurgical treatments like medications and using walking supports are no longer helpful, you may want to consider total knee replacement surgery.
Shoulder replacement surgery
Shoulder replacement surgery is an option for treatment of severe arthritis of the shoulder joint. Arthritis is a condition that affects the cartilage of the joints. As the cartilage lining wears away, the protective lining between the bones is lost. When this happens, painful bone-on- bone arthritis develops. Severe shoulder arthritis is quite painful and can cause restriction of motion.
