Arthroplasty and reconstructive therapy of the lower limb can improve patient function and quality of life.
Arthroplasty
Hip and knee arthritis are common conditions which cause significant pain and discomfort. In the appropriate patient these conditions can be addressed with a joint replacement.
Arthroscopy and Ligament reconstruction
Arthroscopy of the knee can be used to treat a range of conditions. Tears of the anterior cruciate ligament typically occur through sporting activities, whilst meniscus injuries can occur with simple traumatic events. Both ligament and meniscal injuries are often amenable to being addressed through arthroscopic or keyhole surgery.
