Broken bones, and the follow-up care that determines how well they heal.
What you may notice
Anyone; and more likely with reduced bone density
Most fractures heal predictably; what varies is the function afterwards, which depends on position, on how early movement is restored, and on rehabilitation. We take over the care of fractures treated in an emergency department, review the position at intervals, and start rehabilitation as soon as it is safe rather than when the plaster comes off.
Procedures
What each procedure involves, what recovery actually looks like, and how long before you are back.
A full examination with a consultant, imaging reviewed on the day, and a written plan.
Radiographs, MRI, ultrasound and gait analysis, reported and explained.
Ultrasound-guided injections for diagnosis and for symptom relief.
Keyhole surgery for the knee, shoulder, hip and ankle, as a day case.
ACL and other ligament reconstruction, with rehabilitation planned from the start.
Total or partial replacement for arthritis that has stopped responding to everything else.
Replacing the worn ball and socket — among the most reliable operations in surgery.
Carpal tunnel, trigger finger, bunion correction and tendon procedures.
Supervised, criteria-based recovery after injury or surgery.
Appointments
Consultations are with a consultant orthopaedic surgeon. Bring any imaging you have already had — it often saves repeating it.
