Treatments

Advanced Orthopedic Treatments

Evidence-based care for bones, joints and muscles — explained clearly, planned personally and delivered safely.

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Total knee replacement is an advanced surgical procedure in which damaged surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with precision implants. It is recommended for severe arthritis or joint damage that no longer responds to medication and physiotherapy, helping patients return to comfortable, independent movement.

Common Symptoms

  • Persistent knee pain during walking or rest
  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion
  • Visible deformity or bowing of the knee
  • Difficulty climbing stairs or standing up
  • Pain that no longer responds to medication

Benefits of Treatment

  • Significant and lasting pain relief
  • Improved mobility and joint stability
  • Correction of knee deformity
  • Return to daily activities and gentle exercise
  • Long-lasting modern implants

Recovery

Most patients stand and walk with support within 1–2 days of surgery. Daily activities typically resume in 4–6 weeks, with continued improvement over 3–6 months through guided physiotherapy. Individual recovery varies.

How long does a knee implant last?

Modern knee implants commonly last 15–20 years or more with proper care, regular follow-ups and a healthy lifestyle. Your surgeon will discuss implant options best suited to your age and activity level.

Hip Replacement

Hip replacement surgery replaces a worn or damaged hip joint with a modern prosthetic implant. It is an effective option for advanced hip arthritis, avascular necrosis and certain hip fractures, restoring smooth movement and relieving chronic pain.

Common Symptoms

  • Groin, thigh or hip pain while walking
  • Stiffness that limits bending or lifting the leg
  • Pain that disturbs sleep
  • Limping or shortened stride
  • Difficulty with everyday activities like sitting or dressing

Benefits of Treatment

  • Relief from chronic hip pain
  • Restored walking ability and posture
  • Improved quality of life and independence
  • Durable, modern implant materials
  • High long-term success rates worldwide

Recovery

Patients usually begin walking with assistance within 1–2 days. Most return to routine activities within 6 weeks, with full recovery over 3–6 months supported by physiotherapy.

When can I walk after hip replacement?

Most patients take their first steps with walker support within a day or two of surgery. Walking independently typically follows within a few weeks, guided by your physiotherapy plan.

Fracture Management

From simple hairline cracks to complex trauma, our clinic provides complete fracture care — accurate diagnosis, casting, splinting and surgical fixation where required. Timely, correct treatment ensures bones heal in proper alignment and function returns fully.

Common Symptoms

  • Sudden severe pain after injury or fall
  • Swelling, bruising or visible deformity
  • Inability to move or bear weight on the limb
  • Tenderness at the injury site
  • A snapping or grinding sensation at the time of injury

Benefits of Treatment

  • Prompt pain relief and stabilisation
  • Correct bone alignment and healing
  • Reduced risk of long-term complications
  • Modern fixation techniques when surgery is needed
  • Structured follow-up until full recovery

Recovery

Simple fractures typically heal in 6–8 weeks; complex fractures may take 3–6 months. Physiotherapy after cast removal or surgery helps restore strength and full movement.

Do all fractures need surgery?

No. Many fractures heal well with casting or splinting alone. Surgery is recommended only when bones are displaced, unstable or involve a joint, so they can heal in the correct position.

Sports Medicine

Our sports medicine care covers ligament injuries, meniscus tears, muscle strains and overuse injuries in athletes and active individuals. We focus on accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment and a safe, structured return to sport.

Common Symptoms

  • Pain or swelling after sports activity
  • Knee giving way or feeling unstable
  • Popping sound at the time of injury
  • Restricted movement after exertion
  • Recurring pain during specific movements

Benefits of Treatment

  • Accurate diagnosis of sports injuries
  • Non-surgical and arthroscopic treatment options
  • Sport-specific rehabilitation programmes
  • Reduced risk of re-injury
  • Structured return-to-play planning

Recovery

Minor strains often recover in 2–4 weeks. Ligament reconstruction, such as ACL surgery, typically requires 6–9 months of guided rehabilitation before returning to competitive sport.

Can I return to sports after an ACL injury?

Most patients return to their sport after successful treatment and dedicated rehabilitation. The timeline depends on the severity of the injury, the treatment chosen and your commitment to physiotherapy.

Joint Pain Treatment

Persistent joint pain in the knees, hips, shoulders or hands can have many causes — from early arthritis to inflammation and overuse. We identify the root cause and build a personalised plan combining medication, injections, physiotherapy and lifestyle guidance.

Common Symptoms

  • Aching or throbbing pain in one or more joints
  • Morning stiffness that eases with movement
  • Swelling or warmth around a joint
  • Clicking or grinding sensations
  • Pain that worsens with activity or weather changes

Benefits of Treatment

  • Root-cause diagnosis, not just symptom relief
  • Personalised non-surgical treatment first
  • Joint-preserving injections where appropriate
  • Guided exercises to protect the joint
  • Long-term pain management strategies

Recovery

Many patients notice meaningful improvement within 2–6 weeks of starting a structured treatment plan. Chronic conditions are managed with ongoing care and periodic reviews.

When should I see a doctor for joint pain?

Consult a specialist if joint pain lasts more than two weeks, disturbs sleep, limits daily activities, or is accompanied by swelling, redness or fever. Early treatment often prevents the condition from worsening.

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive keyhole procedure that lets the surgeon see inside a joint through a tiny camera and treat problems through very small incisions. It is commonly used for the knee and shoulder, offering faster recovery and minimal scarring.

Common Symptoms

  • Joint pain that persists despite rest and medication
  • Locking or catching of the knee
  • Recurrent joint swelling
  • Instability or giving way of the joint
  • Suspected ligament or cartilage injury on scans

Benefits of Treatment

  • Small incisions and minimal scarring
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Shorter hospital stay — often day care
  • Faster return to work and activity
  • Accurate diagnosis and treatment in one procedure

Recovery

Most patients walk the same day and return to desk work within 1–2 weeks. Complete recovery, including sports, typically takes 6–12 weeks depending on the procedure performed.

Is arthroscopy painful?

The procedure is performed under anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is generally mild and well controlled with medication, and settles within a few days.

Back Pain Treatment

Back pain is one of the most common reasons patients visit us. Causes range from muscle strain and poor posture to disc problems and spinal arthritis. Our approach prioritises accurate diagnosis and conservative, non-surgical care wherever possible.

Common Symptoms

  • Dull ache or sharp pain in the lower back
  • Pain radiating to the hips or legs (sciatica)
  • Stiffness after sitting or waking up
  • Numbness or tingling in the legs
  • Pain that worsens with bending or lifting

Benefits of Treatment

  • Thorough evaluation to find the exact cause
  • Non-surgical treatment prioritised
  • Posture and ergonomic guidance
  • Targeted physiotherapy programmes
  • Long-term strategies to prevent recurrence

Recovery

Most episodes of back pain improve significantly within 2–6 weeks of proper treatment. Chronic back pain is managed with a combination of therapy, exercise and periodic review.

Will I need surgery for my back pain?

In the large majority of cases, no. Most back pain responds well to medication, physiotherapy and lifestyle changes. Surgery is considered only for specific conditions, such as significant nerve compression, that do not improve with conservative care.

Arthritis Treatment

Arthritis causes pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints and can gradually limit daily life. We manage osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis with a stepwise plan — medication, joint injections, physiotherapy, weight management and, in advanced cases, joint replacement.

Common Symptoms

  • Joint pain that worsens with activity
  • Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes
  • Swelling and tenderness around joints
  • Reduced flexibility and grip strength
  • Cracking or grating sounds in the joints

Benefits of Treatment

  • Slowed progression of joint damage
  • Reduced pain and stiffness
  • Improved joint function and mobility
  • Personalised exercise and diet guidance
  • Clear surgical options when conservative care is exhausted

Recovery

Arthritis is managed rather than cured — most patients feel noticeably better within weeks of starting treatment, and regular follow-ups keep symptoms well controlled long term.

Can arthritis be treated without surgery?

Yes, especially in early and moderate stages. Medication, physiotherapy, weight management and joint injections control symptoms effectively for many patients. Surgery such as joint replacement is reserved for advanced arthritis that severely limits daily life.
