Trauma and Orthopaedics

We offer an extensive range of elective orthopaedic surgeries, covering both lower limb procedures such as hip, knee, foot and ankle surgeries, and upper limb procedures including shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist surgeries. Our services include comprehensive management of arthritis in various joints, treatment for sports injuries and care for related musculoskeletal conditions.

Our expertise extends to a full spectrum of joint replacement surgeries, including revision surgeries and arthroscopic procedures. We use advanced techniques aimed at restoring limb functionality and mobility. 

Patients receive care from experienced senior doctors, including consultants and associate specialists, with specialised clinics available.
