What is orthopaedic surgery?

Orthopaedic surgery, or orthopaedics, is a surgical specialty that deals with trauma (physical injury) and conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system.

The musculoskeletal system includes:

  • Bones
  • Joints
  • Muscles
  • Tendons
  • Nerves

Benefits of orthopaedic surgery can include:

  • Pain relief
  • Improved mobility
  • Functional independence

Common orthopaedic procedures

At the Royal Free Hospital Private Patients Unit, our leading consultants use state-of-the-art treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) to minimise the need for open surgery. Our specialist clinical team works closely with patients to identify the most effective way to meet their goals for recovery.

Consultations

For us, the consultation is a key part of the patient journey and it is our goal to provide tailored treatment plans that best suit your individual needs. We are committed to ensuring all patients feel fully informed about what a procedure entails and any associated risks, and supporting you in making the right decision for you.

Aftercare

Many of our orthopaedic procedures can be carried out on a day case basis, meaning you won’t need to stay in hospital. But aftercare is still very important and our dedicated team will ensure your needs and comfort are well taken care of during your time in hospital, and that you are fully equipped with all the advice and information you need when you go home. Follow-ups are usually included as standard and should you need any additional advice, our Consultants are only a phone call away.
