Hip surgery
The hip surgery sector offers the full range of options for both adult and paediatric cases. Sports injuries, congenital hip problems, fractures, prostheses, and replacement are all covered by our specialist doctors and surgeons.
Spine surgery
Spine surgery requires collaboration between different disciplines, especially orthopaedic and brain surgeons. Congenital progressive spinal deformities, injuries and other severe conditions are treated by trained physicians, surgeons, and physical therapy specialists.
Knee surgery
The Knee Surgery Unit performs meniscus implants, transplants and reconstructions with the latest arthroscopic technology and equipment. In meniscus transplant cases, donor cartilage that has been frozen at -80 degrees is used to replace the damaged meniscus. Ligament, collateral ligament, and posterior cruciate ligament surgeries are also performed in the unit at a high success rate.
