What the guides cover
The site covers conditions affecting the hip, knee, shoulder, spine, hand, wrist, elbow, foot and ankle. It also includes children's orthopaedics, fracture care and bone and soft tissue tumours.
How to use the information
Begin with a body-area guide, then read about relevant conditions or procedures. Use the questions and preparation notes to support a discussion with your treating clinician.
Understanding the limits
The guides explain general concepts. They cannot establish the cause of your symptoms, determine which treatment is suitable for you or confirm an individual's current clinical availability.
Common questions
Do I need surgery to see a specialist?
No. A consultation can help clarify the cause of symptoms and consider both surgical and non-surgical options.
Do you care for children as well as adults?
The practice's areas of care include paediatric orthopaedics as well as adult bone and joint conditions.
