Orthopaedic surgery
Surgery for fractures, sports injuries and joint problems, with imaging steps away and a physiotherapy plan settled before you go home.
Request a consultFrom injury to rehabilitation, in one place
Fractures, ligament injuries and joint problems are assessed with imaging taken in the same corridor as the clinic, so a plan can be agreed at the first visit rather than after a wait for results elsewhere. Surgery ranges from day-case arthroscopy to inpatient fracture fixation.
Before you leave hospital, a physiotherapist agrees a rehabilitation plan with you, covering movement, weight-bearing and the exercises to start at home. A follow-up appointment is arranged so your surgeon can check healing and progress against that plan.
