About the doctor
Orthopaedics deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system — the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. The orthopaedic specialist treats fractures and dislocations and offers solutions for chronic pain of the knee, hip, spine and shoulder.
Treatment ranges from non-surgical options such as medication, splinting and physiotherapy to specialised surgery including knee and hip joint replacement and arthroscopy. The aim is to restore pain-free movement and return the patient to everyday activity.
