He has successfully treated amputees, patients with severe injuries, and those with problems related to disease and infection. See below for more information about how private orthopaedic surgery can treat a range of issues.
Amputation
An amputation is the surgical removal of part or all of a limb. It is usually reserved as a last resort, but can be performed in cases of vascular disease, diabetes and trauma.
Knee Arthritis
Arthritis is a condition which affects the surfaces of joints (i.e. the cartilage) and wears it down until it no longer moves as smoothly as it used to, and no longer cushions the joint.
Knee Replacement
Knee replacement implants can fail for different reasons. They will need revising (replacing) in certain conditions but not necessarily always.
Limb Length Discrepancy
Limb length discrepancy (also known as anisomelia) is where one arm or leg is shorter than the other. Differences in the length of limbs can cause an imbalance in posture and gait leading to chronic pain.
Non-Union Fracture Specialists & Non-Healing Fracture Support
A non-union fracture, also known as a non-healing fracture, occurs when a broken or fractured bone does not heal.
Osteomyelitis Surgery
Osteomyelitis is a serious infection of the bone, and requires treatment with antibiotics and in some cases surgery.
