About the department

What orthopaedic surgeons treat

Orthopaedics covers the bones, joints, ligaments and muscles — everything that lets you move. An orthopaedic surgeon treats fractures and sports injuries, manages wear-and-tear conditions such as osteoarthritis and frozen shoulder, and operates when joint damage stops responding to other treatment. Most orthopaedic problems are treated without surgery first: physiotherapy, injections, bracing and activity changes come before an operation is considered.

When it is an emergency

An obviously deformed limb after an injury, an inability to bear any weight, or sudden loss of bladder or bowel control alongside back pain needs emergency care the same day, not an outpatient appointment.

When to see a orthopaedic surgeon

These are the reasons people most often book this department. None of them is a diagnosis — that is what the consultation is for.

Joint pain that has lasted more than a few weeks
A knee or ankle that gives way, locks or swells after activity
Back pain that travels down a leg, or numbness and tingling
Difficulty climbing stairs or getting up from a chair
A joint that is stiff first thing in the morning most days
A fall or twist you have not fully recovered from
Tests and scans

What a consultation may include

Your doctor decides which of these, if any, actually answer the question — booking a scan before anyone has examined you often means the wrong scan.

  • X-ray of the affected joint or spine
  • MRI for ligament, cartilage and disc detail
  • DEXA bone-density scan
  • Blood tests for inflammatory arthritis
  • Gait and range-of-movement assessment

Orthopaedics procedures we perform

Conservative treatment is tried first for most of these. Each page sets out what the operation involves, the stay and the recovery.

Questions, answered

Orthopaedics — common questions

Very rarely. Conservative care — physiotherapy, medication, activity changes, sometimes an injection — is tried first for most joint and back problems. Surgery is discussed when the pain is limiting your daily life and other treatment has stopped helping.

Yes. Bring the films or the digital copy along with the radiologist's report, plus any physiotherapy notes. Repeating a recent scan is often unnecessary.

An orthopaedic surgeon diagnoses the problem and decides on treatment, including surgery. A physiotherapist delivers the movement and strengthening programme that treats it or gets you through recovery. They usually work together.

Recovery is individual and depends on your age, general health and how the joint was before surgery. Your surgeon will give you a realistic timeline for walking, driving and returning to work at your consultation.
