PATIENT CARE
Trauma Care
& Treatment
Expert care for a wide range of knee conditions.
Restoring mobility, relieving pain and helping
you return to the life you enjoy.
Fractures & Traumatic Bone Injuries
Whether caused by arthritis, previous injury, or natural joint wear, knee degeneration can affect mobility and quality of life. Treatment ranges from conservative management to advanced joint replacement surgery.
Hip & Pelvic Fractures
Fractures affecting the hip and pelvis include hip fractures, femoral neck fractures, pelvic fractures and pelvic ring injuries, as well as acetabular fractures. These injuries often require specialist assessment to restore stability, mobility, and independence.
Femur (Thigh Bone) Fractures
Fractures of the femur may involve the shaft of the thighbone or the area just above the knee (distal femur). These injuries are commonly caused by high-impact trauma or weakened bone and often require surgical treatment.
Knee & Lower Leg Fractures
This group includes knee fractures, traumatic knee injuries, tibial plateau fractures, tibial shaft fractures, fibula fractures, and patella (kneecap) fractures. Treatment focuses on restoring joint stability, alignment, and function.
Foot & Ankle Fractures
Fractures involving the ankle and foot can range from simple breaks to more complex injuries affecting the surrounding joints. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help support healing and recovery.
Joint, Ligament & Soft Tissue Injuries
Many knee conditions can be treated while preserving the natural joint. Arthroscopy and joint preservation procedures aim to relieve pain, restore function, and delay the need for joint replacement where appropriate.
Hip & Pelvic Fractures
Fractures affecting the hip and pelvis include hip fractures, femoral neck fractures, pelvic fractures and pelvic ring injuries, as well as acetabular fractures. These injuries often require specialist assessment to restore stability, mobility, and independence.
Femur (Thigh Bone) Fractures
Fractures of the femur may involve the shaft of the thighbone or the area just above the knee (distal femur). These injuries are commonly caused by high-impact trauma or weakened bone and often require surgical treatment.
Knee & Lower Leg Fractures
This group includes knee fractures, traumatic knee injuries, tibial plateau fractures, tibial shaft fractures, fibula fractures, and patella (kneecap) fractures. Treatment focuses on restoring joint stability, alignment, and function.
Foot & Ankle Fractures
Fractures involving the ankle and foot can range from simple breaks to more complex injuries affecting the surrounding joints. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help support healing and recovery.
Complex Injury & Reconstructive Care
Muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues play an important role in hip movement and stability. Accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help reduce pain, restore function, and support a safe return to everyday activities or sport.
Fracture Healing Complications
Occasionally, fractures may heal more slowly than expected or fail to heal completely. This includes delayed union, non-union, and malunion of fractures, which may require further treatment to promote healing and restore alignment.
Post-Traumatic Deformity
Following a significant injury, bones or joints may heal in an altered position, affecting movement, comfort, and function. Corrective procedures may help restore alignment and improve mobility.
Limb Instability Following Trauma
Severe injuries can leave joints or limbs feeling unstable, affecting confidence and everyday movement. Treatment focuses on restoring stability and supporting long-term function.
Complex Fracture Reconstruction
Fractures involving the ankle and foot can range from simple breaks to more complex injuries affecting the surrounding joints. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help support healing and recovery.
