Key responsibilities & roles
Diagnosis & assessment
Orthopaedic consultants are skilled in evaluating and diagnosing various orthopaedic conditions, whether they result from injuries, accidents, degenerative diseases or congenital abnormalities. Through thorough physical examinations, medical imaging and diagnostic tests, they pinpoint the root causes of musculoskeletal problems.
Treatment planning
Once a diagnosis is made, orthopaedic consultants create tailored treatment plans based on the individual patient's needs. These plans may encompass both non-surgical and surgical interventions, considering factors such as the severity of the condition, the patient's overall health and their lifestyle.
Surgical expertise
Our consultants are trained in a wide array of surgical procedures, from joint replacements (e.g. knee, hip) and fracture repairs to corrective surgeries for spine deformities and sports-related injuries. They employ advanced surgical techniques and technology to achieve optimal outcomes.
Non-surgical interventions
In cases where surgery is not immediately necessary or suitable, orthopaedic consultants prescribe non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, medication, injections and bracing. These interventions aim to alleviate pain, improve mobility and enhance overall function.
