Orthopaedic Procedures We Perform
Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty)
We offer full and partial joint replacements for the hip, knee, elbow and shoulder. Implants are selected based on your age, lifestyle, and bone condition. Recovery starts the same day, with movement encouraged early to reduce stiffness.
Spine Surgery & Care
Our spine team treats mild to severe scoliosis using spinal fusion, state-of-the-art instrumentation, and follow-up. Non-surgical cases are evaluated for conservative support. Pediatric and adult patients accepted.
Fracture Repair & Trauma Surgery
Internal fixation, realignment, and emergency orthopaedic care for displaced fractures and complicated injuries.
Ligament & Tendon Reconstruction
Includes ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, and Achilles tendon surgery, using grafts or synthetic supports.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Whenever possible, our surgeons use keyhole techniques to reduce incision size, blood loss, and downtime.
