About the orthopaedics department
Orthopaedics deals with the parts of the body that carry you around: bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and the spine. The problems range from a fracture that needs setting today to a knee that has been getting worse for a decade.
Our department treats both. That means fracture and injury care through the emergency department, and planned surgery — including joint replacement — through the operation theatres, with imaging and physiotherapy support on the same site.
When to see an orthopaedic doctor
Come in for any of these. The first two are urgent.
- A suspected fracture, or an injury with obvious deformity — come to emergency
- An injury where you cannot bear weight or move the joint — come to emergency
- Joint pain that has lasted weeks, or that wakes you at night
- Knee or hip pain that limits walking, stairs or standing up from a chair
- Back or neck pain that travels into a limb, or comes with numbness, tingling or weakness
- A joint that is swollen, hot or locking
- A sports injury that has not settled with rest
- Stiffness in the morning that takes a long time to ease
If you are not sure, treat it as urgent
It is always better to be assessed and sent home than to wait at home with something serious. Emergency care needs no appointment.
What we provide
Fracture treatment
From casting and splinting to surgical fixation, depending on which bone is broken and how it has displaced.
Knee and hip replacement
For joints damaged by advanced arthritis or injury, where pain and stiffness no longer respond to medication and physiotherapy.
Spine treatment
Assessment and management of back and neck problems, from conservative care and pain management through to surgery for conditions such as a slipped disc.
Arthritis and joint pain management
Medication, injections, physiotherapy and weight management — the approach that helps most people, and is tried before surgery is considered.
Sports and soft-tissue injuries
Ligament and tendon injuries, including assessment of when an injury needs surgical repair and when it does not.
Rehabilitation after surgery
Recovery after a replacement or fracture repair is largely physiotherapy. We plan it before the operation, not after.
How we investigate
Orthopaedic diagnosis is largely examination plus imaging — seeing the bone or the soft tissue that is causing the problem.
- X-ray imaging for fractures, joint damage and alignment
- Cross-sectional and soft-tissue imaging where ligaments, discs or nerves are involved
- Blood tests where inflammatory arthritis or infection is suspected
- Assessment of gait, range of movement and joint stability
What to expect
So that nothing about the visit is a surprise.
- 1
Examination of the joint or injury
Range of movement, stability, swelling and exactly where the pain is. This narrows the diagnosis before any scan.
- 2
Imaging
Usually the same visit for X-rays. Further imaging is arranged where soft tissue or nerve involvement is suspected.
- 3
A plan, starting with the least invasive option
Most orthopaedic problems are managed without surgery. Where surgery is the right answer, we explain why, and what recovery involves.
- 4
Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy and a graded return to activity, with review to check progress.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if a bone is broken?
You often cannot tell from the outside — a bad sprain and a small fracture can look and feel similar. If there is significant pain, swelling, deformity, or you cannot use the limb, treat it as a possible fracture and come in for an X-ray rather than waiting to see if it settles.
Do I need a knee replacement?
Usually only when arthritis pain limits your daily life — walking, sleeping, stairs — and medication, physiotherapy and weight management have stopped helping. Wear on an X-ray alone is not a reason to operate. Our orthopaedic team will go through what surgery would and would not change for you.
How long is recovery after joint replacement?
Most people are up and walking with support within a day or two and go home within a few days, then continue physiotherapy for several weeks. Getting back to full routine activity typically takes a few months. Your own recovery depends on your age, general health and how the joint was before surgery, so treat any figure as a guide rather than a promise.
Should I rest or move a painful joint?
It depends entirely on the cause, which is why it is worth being assessed. Complete rest is right after some injuries and actively harmful in some kinds of arthritis, where movement is part of the treatment.
