Ortopedi
Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine
Our orthopaedic and sports medicine specialists assess and treat conditions of the bones, joints, muscles and tendons, from acute injuries to longstanding joint pain.
Clinical scope
The Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine department evaluates musculoskeletal complaints ranging from acute sporting injuries to degenerative joint conditions. Consultations combine a clinical examination with, where required, diagnostic imaging to confirm the underlying cause of pain, stiffness or reduced function.
Treatment plans are built around your goals, whether that is returning safely to sport, managing a chronic joint condition day to day, or preparing for a planned surgical procedure. Where surgery is required, our specialists coordinate directly with the Day Surgery department.
