Joint Pain and Sports Injuries
Knee, hip and shoulder pain and sports injuries can have many causes — osteoarthritis, meniscal or labral tears, tendinopathy, impingement, instability or nerve problems. A careful clinical assessment, supported when appropriate by ultrasound, X-ray or MRI, allows an accurate diagnosis and an individualised plan rather than a generic answer.
Knee Specialist Assessment
Knee problems — including meniscal tears, cartilage damage, ligament injuries such as ACL, and osteoarthritis — are assessed and managed with a goal of relief and safe function. Options range from conservative care and ultrasound-guided treatments to arthroscopy or partial and total knee replacement when appropriate.
Shoulder Specialist Assessment
Shoulder pain from rotator cuff problems, impingement, calcific tendinitis, instability or arthritis is assessed and managed individually. Options may include physiotherapy, ultrasound-guided injections, arthroscopy or shoulder replacement, depending on the diagnosis and the patient's expectations.
Hip Problems and Hip Replacement
Hip pain from osteoarthritis, impingement or structural problems is assessed with imaging when needed. When conservative treatment is no longer enough, hip replacement may be discussed. The choice of implant, fixation and bearing is individualised — there is no single 'best' prosthesis for everyone.
Arthroscopy and Joint Replacement
Minimally invasive arthroscopy may suit selected knee, hip and shoulder problems; joint replacement may be appropriate when the joint is badly damaged. The decision is individualised: no one is pushed toward surgery, but no one is made to exhaust every injection when an operation is clearly indicated.
Second Opinion and Private Consultation
If you have been recommended an operation and want a specialist review, a second opinion is a responsible step. We review your history, imaging and previous treatment, confirm whether surgery is appropriate, and explain alternatives, risks and recovery in plain terms.
