Orthopaedic

Orthopaedics is the area of medicine which deals with bones, joints and ligaments within the human body.

Orthopaedic surgery corrects problems that arise in the skeleton and its attachments, the ligaments and tendons. It may also deal with some problems of the nervous system, such as those that arise from injury of the spine. These problems can occur at birth, through injury, or as the result of ageing. They may be acute, as in injury, or chronic, as in many ageing-related problems.

At The Sefton Suite we have a range of orthopaedic surgeons who specialise in different areas of the body allowing the focused expertise to be transferred to the comfort of the patient.

It is important to choose your surgeon carefully and to be comfortable with the relationship. It is important at this time to discuss any questions or worries you may have prior to surgery. 

The range of treatments in Orthopaedic surgery is enormous and covers anything from joint replacements to reconstructions. Each surgeon is experienced in the most up to date treatments and procedures and will provide the most effective and relevant advice to each individual patient.  Surgery can be performed under both local and general anaesthetic depending on the procedure.
