Areas of Practice
Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement, partial (unicondylar) knee replacement and revision knee replacement. The choice of operation depends on the extent of joint damage, symptoms, daily needs, bone condition and other individual factors.
Hip Replacement
Primary and complex hip replacement, and revision hip replacement. Conditions such as severe hip arthritis and avascular necrosis (death of bone in the ball of the hip joint caused by loss of its blood supply) may need assessment for hip replacement when non-surgical treatment no longer gives enough relief.
Shoulder Replacement
The type of shoulder replacement depends on the underlying shoulder condition, the joint damage, bone quality and the function that needs to be restored.
Revision Joint Replacement
A revision is a further operation on a knee, hip or shoulder replacement that has developed a problem, such as wear or loosening of the implant, bone loss, instability or infection. Planning a revision needs assessment of the existing implant and of the surrounding bone and soft tissues.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) for selected knee, hip and shoulder conditions, including ligament, meniscus and cartilage injuries and other sports-related injuries.
Orthopaedic Trauma and Fracture Surgery
Assessment and treatment of fractures, dislocations and other bone and joint injuries. Treatment is chosen according to the location and pattern of the injury, its stability, the condition of the skin and soft tissues, and the patient's general health.
Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement
At PMG Hospital, robotic-assisted knee replacement is performed with the ROSA Knee System. The system helps with measurement, alignment and implant positioning during the operation; the surgeon plans and performs the surgery, and robotic assistance does not replace clinical judgement. Not every knee needs robotic assistance.
TriNova
TriNova is the name used at PMG Hospital for a combination of three choices in knee replacement: robotic assistance, a subvastus approach (the knee is opened beneath a thigh muscle instead of through the quadriceps tendon) and surgery without a thigh tourniquet. TriNova applies to knee replacement only, and these choices are used when they suit the individual knee.

Approach to Treatment
Orthopaedic treatment is not the same for every patient. The choice depends on the diagnosis, the severity of joint damage, age, activity level, the condition of the bone and soft tissues, previous operations and general health.
Not every patient with joint pain needs surgery. Depending on the problem, treatment may involve medicines, physiotherapy, injections, changes in activity, arthroscopy, joint replacement, revision surgery or another orthopaedic procedure. The options, their risks and the expected recovery are discussed with the patient before a decision is made.
