Common Conditions

Sports Injury

Sports injury is any injury to the body that occurs during sports, exercise, or physical activity. It commonly affects the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, or tendons and can happen suddenly or develop over time.

Foot & Ankle

Foot & Ankle conditions involve disorders or injuries affecting the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles of the foot and ankle. These conditions may result from trauma, overuse, deformities, or degenerative changes, and can cause pain, instability, and difficulty walking.

Hand & Microsurgery

Hand & Microsurgery focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the hand, wrist, and upper limb using specialised microsurgical techniques. These procedures allow precise repair of nerves, tendons, blood vessels, and bones to restore function and mobility.

Spine

Spine Care focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. These conditions may include degenerative disorders, disc problems, spinal injuries, and deformities, which can cause pain, nerve symptoms, and reduced mobility.

Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery

Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery specialises in the surgical management of musculoskeletal conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. This includes congenital abnormalities, developmental disorders, injuries, and deformities, with care tailored to support healthy growth and long-term function.

Arthroplasty

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the repair or replacement of a damaged joint to relieve pain, restore function, and improve mobility. It is commonly performed on joints such as the hip, knee, and shoulder.

Trauma

Trauma Care focuses on the urgent assessment and treatment of injuries involving bones, joints, and soft tissues resulting from accidents, falls, or high-impact events. Prompt and specialised care is essential to restore function and prevent long-term complications.
