Evaluation, diagnosis and treatment pathways for bone, joint and musculoskeletal conditions.
Persistent knee pain can affect walking, climbing stairs, exercising, sitting, standing and other everyday activities. The cause may vary from degenerative joint changes to an injury or another musculoskeletal condition.
An orthopaedic evaluation can help determine the underlying cause and whether treatment should be non-surgical or surgical.
When knee pain and stiffness become persistent or increasingly interfere with daily activities, an orthopaedic assessment may be appropriate.
Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment may involve conservative management, rehabilitation or, in selected patients, knee replacement surgery.
Total knee replacement may be considered for patients with significant knee joint damage and symptoms that are no longer adequately controlled with non-surgical treatment.

Hip pain can make walking, standing, sitting and other everyday activities difficult.
An orthopaedic consultation can help determine whether the symptoms are related to the hip joint or another condition and whether treatment should involve conservative care or surgery.
For selected patients with advanced hip joint problems, total hip replacement may be recommended.

One of the most common questions patients with long-standing knee problems ask is whether they need a knee replacement. The answer cannot be determined from pain alone.
Key factors a doctor considers:
Knee replacement may be considered when significant joint damage is associated with persistent symptoms and other appropriate treatment options are no longer providing adequate relief.
Not every patient with knee pain requires an operation. Depending on the underlying cause, conservative and non-surgical approaches are often explored first.
Non-surgical & conservative approaches include:
The appropriate treatment depends on the diagnosis and severity of joint changes.
A structured, patient-focused approach to accurately diagnose and plan your care.
A structured discussion regarding your symptoms:
The affected joint or body area may be examined to assess movement, tenderness, stability and other clinical findings.
Depending on your symptoms, the doctor may recommend an X-ray or other imaging.
After evaluating the available information, the doctor can explain the possible treatment options and whether surgery is appropriate.
A structured, supportive treatment pathway from pre-operative planning to full rehabilitation.
Every patient's recovery is different. Your doctor will provide advice based on your individual condition and procedure.
