ORTHOPAEDIC CONDITIONS

➪ Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common symptom affecting the joint that connects the thigh bone and lower leg. It may develop gradually from wear and tear or suddenly after an injury, and can range from mild discomfort to pain that limits walking and daily activity.

  • Arthritis or age-related joint wear
  • Ligament or meniscus injury
  • Overuse or repetitive strain
  • Previous trauma or injury
  • Pain while climbing or descending stairs
  • Swelling or stiffness after activity
  • Grinding, clicking or catching sensations
  • Difficulty fully bending or straightening the knee

Evaluation may include physical examination and imaging where needed. Treatment can range from physiotherapy and pain management to arthroscopic surgery for ligament or meniscus repair. Joint replacement may be considered for advanced arthritis or severe joint damage.

➪ Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain refers to discomfort arising from the shoulder joint, muscles, tendons or surrounding structures. It can make reaching, lifting, dressing and sleeping on one side difficult.

  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Shoulder impingement
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Arthritis
  • Instability following a previous dislocation
  • Pain with overhead movement
  • Night pain affecting sleep
  • Weakness while lifting or reaching
  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion

Treatment may include physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory management for milder conditions. Persistent or advanced problems may require arthroscopic procedures such as rotator cuff repair or capsular release.

➪ Hip Pain

Hip pain is discomfort around the hip joint, groin or outer hip. Because the hip is a major weight-bearing joint, pain can affect walking, climbing stairs, sleep and independence.

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Labral tears
  • Bursitis
  • Previous injury or fracture
  • Groin or outer hip pain
  • Stiffness after sitting or resting
  • Limping or altered walking pattern
  • Pain radiating to the thigh or knee

Early-stage pain may be managed with physiotherapy and conservative treatment, including injections where appropriate. Partial or total hip replacement may be considered for advanced arthritis or significant joint damage.

➪ Elbow Pain

Elbow pain can arise from the joint, tendons, ligaments, nerves or bone. It may be caused by repetitive activities, sports, desk work or a direct injury.

  • Tennis elbow
  • Golfer's elbow
  • Ligament sprain
  • Fracture
  • Nerve compression
  • Pain on the inner or outer elbow
  • Weak grip strength
  • Swelling or tenderness
  • Pain worsened by twisting or lifting

Treatment may include rest, activity modification, bracing and physiotherapy. Targeted injections or minimally invasive treatment may be considered for persistent or severe injuries.

➪ Wrist & Hand Pain

Wrist and hand pain can involve the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons or nerves. Because the hands are used continuously for work and daily activities, symptoms can significantly affect function.

  • Fractures
  • Ligament sprains
  • Arthritis
  • Nerve compression such as carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Pain or swelling in the wrist or fingers
  • Reduced grip strength
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Stiffness after rest

Treatment may include rest, activity modification, bracing and physiotherapy. Targeted injections or minimally invasive treatment may be considered for persistent or severe injuries.

➪ Ankle & Foot Pain

Ankle and foot pain can result from injury, overuse or structural problems and may affect walking, exercise and balance.

  • Sprains
  • Ligament tears
  • Fractures
  • Overuse conditions such as plantar fasciitis
  • Swelling or bruising after injury
  • Pain while bearing weight
  • Instability or the ankle giving way
  • Persistent heel or arch pain

Treatment may include immobilisation and physiotherapy for sprains and appropriate conservative care for overuse conditions. Significant ligament tears or fractures may require arthroscopic or open surgical repair.

➪ Arthritis

Arthritis is a broad term for conditions affecting the joints and may cause pain, stiffness, swelling and reduced movement. Different types have different causes, including age-related wear and autoimmune disease.

  • Wear-and-tear changes such as osteoarthritis
  • Autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis
  • Previous joint injury
  • Joint pain and stiffness, especially in the morning
  • Swelling around affected joints
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Pain that may worsen with activity or weather changes

Treatment may include medication, physiotherapy and lifestyle modification in earlier stages. Joint replacement may be considered when arthritis significantly limits daily function.

➪ Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition in which joint cartilage gradually wears down. It commonly affects weight-bearing joints and can progressively reduce comfort and mobility.

  • Age-related cartilage wear
  • Obesity or increased joint loading
  • Previous joint injury
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Deep aching joint pain
  • Stiffness after inactivity
  • Grinding sensation during movement
  • Gradual loss of flexibility

Treatment can include weight management, physiotherapy and injections for early-stage disease. Partial or total joint replacement may be considered when cartilage loss and functional limitation are advanced.

➪ Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks joint tissue. It requires ongoing medical management and can lead to progressive joint damage if not controlled.

  • Autoimmune response affecting joint tissue
  • Symmetrical joint pain and swelling
  • Morning stiffness lasting more than an hour
  • Fatigue with joint symptoms
  • Progressive joint deformity if untreated

Management is coordinated with rheumatology and may include medical treatment and joint protection strategies. Orthopaedic procedures, including joint replacement, may be considered for joints with advanced damage.

➪ Back Pain

Back pain is discomfort affecting the upper or lower back. It is common and may be related to muscles, posture, spinal discs or other spinal structures.

  • Muscle strain
  • Poor posture
  • Disc-related problems
  • Underlying spinal conditions
  • Dull ache or sharp back pain
  • Pain worsened by sitting, standing or bending
  • Muscle stiffness or spasm
  • Pain radiating to the hips or legs

Most cases may be managed with physiotherapy, posture correction and pain management. Minimally invasive spine surgery may be considered for structural problems that do not respond to conservative treatment.

➪ Chronic Lower Back Pain

Chronic lower back pain is persistent pain in the lower back lasting for months rather than days. It often requires evaluation of the underlying cause and a long-term management strategy.

  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Chronic muscle imbalance
  • Unresolved previous injury
  • Pain lasting more than three months
  • Pain affecting sleep or daily function
  • Stiffness limiting bending or lifting
  • Recurring activity-related flare-ups

Treatment may combine physiotherapy, targeted injections and lifestyle modification. When a structural cause is identified and conservative care is insufficient, minimally invasive spine surgery may be considered.

➪ Neck Pain

Neck pain affects the cervical region and may arise from muscles, joints, discs or nerves. It is often associated with prolonged desk work or phone use but can also result from spinal conditions or injury.

  • Poor posture
  • Cervical spondylosis
  • Disc problems
  • Muscle strain from prolonged screen use
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion
  • Pain radiating to the shoulders or arms
  • Headaches beginning at the base of the skull
  • Numbness or tingling in the hands

Most cases may improve with posture correction, physiotherapy and ergonomic guidance. Targeted intervention may be needed when nerve compression is present.

➪ Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is age-related wear affecting the discs and joints of the neck. It is common and may cause stiffness, pain and, in more advanced cases, nerve-related symptoms.

  • Natural age-related degeneration of cervical discs and joints
  • Posture-related acceleration of wear
  • Previous neck injury
  • Chronic neck stiffness
  • Pain worsened by certain neck positions
  • Grinding sensation with neck movement
  • Arm numbness or other nerve symptoms in advanced cases

Treatment may include physiotherapy, posture correction and medication. Surgical decompression is generally reserved for significant nerve involvement.

➪ Slip Disc / Herniated Disc

A herniated or 'slipped' disc occurs when disc material affects nearby nerves or structures. It can cause back pain and radiating pain, numbness or weakness in the leg.

  • Age-related disc degeneration
  • Heavy lifting
  • Sudden twisting movements
  • Repetitive strain
  • Sharp or radiating leg pain, including sciatica
  • Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
  • Weakness in the affected leg
  • Pain worsened by sitting or bending

Many cases improve with physiotherapy, activity modification and medication. Minimally invasive spine surgery may be considered for persistent symptoms or neurological deficit

➪ Sciatica

Sciatica is pain that travels along the sciatic nerve pathway, commonly from the lower back into the buttock and leg. It is a symptom caused by irritation or compression of the nerve.

  • Disc herniation
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Muscle compression affecting the sciatic nerve
  • Sharp shooting pain from the lower back through the leg
  • Numbness or burning sensation
  • Pain worsened by sitting or coughing
  • Weakness in the leg or foot

Treatment may include physiotherapy, targeted stretching and medication. Surgery is generally considered for persistent pain or progressive weakness.

➪ Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine and joints. It may be mistaken for ordinary back pain but has a characteristic inflammatory pattern.

  • Autoimmune and genetic factors causing chronic inflammation of the spine and joints
  • Chronic lower back and hip pain, often in younger adults
  • Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes
  • Pain that improves with movement rather than rest
  • Reduced spinal flexibility over time

Management may include anti-inflammatory medication, structured exercise therapy and posture management, with coordinated rheumatology care for disease-modifying treatment.

➪ ACL Tear

The ACL is an important stabilising ligament of the knee. A tear can cause the knee to feel unstable, especially during pivoting and sports activities.

  • Sudden direction changes
  • Awkward landings
  • Direct impact during sports
  • A popping sensation at the time of injury
  • Immediate swelling
  • Knee instability or giving way
  • Difficulty bearing weight

Treatment depends on the tear and activity goals. Options include supervised rehabilitation for selected patients or arthroscopic ACL reconstruction for active patients seeking a return to higher-level sport.

➪ Meniscus Tear

The meniscus is a cartilage-like structure that cushions and stabilises the knee. A tear can occur suddenly during twisting injuries or gradually through degenerative changes.

  • Twisting sports injuries
  • Gradual degenerative wear
  • Knee pain, especially during twisting
  • Swelling
  • Locking or catching sensation
  • Difficulty fully straightening the knee

Small, stable tears may be managed with physiotherapy. Larger or unstable tears may require arthroscopic meniscus repair or trimming, with preservation of meniscal tissue prioritised where possible.

➪ Ligament Injury

Ligaments connect bones and provide joint stability. Injuries can range from mild sprains to complete tears and may affect joints such as the knee or shoulder.

  • Sports trauma
  • Falls
  • Sudden twisting movements
  • Joint pain and swelling after injury
  • Instability or a loose feeling
  • Bruising
  • Reduced range of motion

Bracing and physiotherapy may be used for mild to moderate injuries. Arthroscopic reconstruction may be required for complete tears that significantly affect joint stability.

➪ Rotator Cuff Injury

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles that help stabilise and move the shoulder. Injury can cause pain, weakness and difficulty lifting the arm.

  • Age-related degeneration
  • Repetitive overhead activity
  • Traumatic fall
  • Shoulder pain, particularly at night
  • Weakness lifting or rotating the arm
  • Clicking or catching
  • Limited overhead movement

Treatment may include physiotherapy and injections for selected partial tears. Complete or large tears may require arthroscopic repair with rehabilitation through recovery.

➪ Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow is an overuse condition causing pain around the outer elbow. Despite its name, it commonly affects people whose work or activities involve repetitive wrist and forearm movements.

  • Repetitive wrist and forearm movement
  • Sport, typing or manual work
  • Outer elbow pain
  • Weak grip strength
  • Pain with wrist movement or lifting
  • Tenderness over the outer elbow

Most cases may be managed with rest, bracing and physiotherapy. Targeted injections or minor surgical release may be considered when symptoms persist.

➪ Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder is a condition in which the shoulder becomes progressively painful and stiff, with a significant loss of movement over time.

  • Often no clear trigger
  • Previous shoulder injury or surgery
  • Diabetes as an associated risk factor
  • Progressive shoulder stiffness
  • Pain worsened by movement
  • Marked loss of range of motion
  • Difficulty dressing or reaching overhead

Treatment is usually staged and may include physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory treatment. Capsular release procedures may be considered when conservative treatment does not provide sufficient improvement.

➪ Fracture & Complex Trauma

A fracture is a break in a bone, while complex trauma may involve severe or multiple injuries. Prompt assessment is important for alignment, stability and recovery.

  • Falls
  • Road traffic accidents
  • Sports injuries
  • Direct trauma
  • Severe pain and swelling
  • Visible deformity
  • Inability to bear weight or use the limb
  • Bruising around the injury

Treatment begins with stabilisation and imaging. Simple fractures may be treated with casting, while complex or displaced fractures may require surgical fixation.

➪ Sports Injury

Sports injuries include damage to muscles, ligaments, cartilage or bone sustained during sport or exercise. Proper assessment helps guide a safe return to activity.

  • Ligament tears
  • Muscle strains
  • Cartilage damage
  • Fractures during sport or exercise
  • Sudden pain during activity
  • Swelling or bruising
  • Instability or weakness
  • Reduced range of motion

Treatment may include conservative management or arthroscopic surgery for appropriate ligament and cartilage injuries, followed by structured sport-specific rehabilitation.

➪ Gym Injury

Gym injuries are injuries sustained during exercise or weight training, often when technique, training load or recovery is not appropriate for the individual's current capacity.

  • Improper exercise form
  • Overtraining
  • Inadequate warm-up
  • Lifting beyond current strength capacity
  • Sharp pain during a specific exercise
  • Joint or muscle swelling
  • Persistent soreness beyond expected muscle fatigue
  • Weakness or instability during lifts

Most injuries may be managed with rest, physiotherapy and corrective movement guidance. Significant ligament or tendon tears may require surgical repair.

➪ Joint Replacement Surgery

Joint replacement is a surgical treatment used when a severely damaged joint no longer responds adequately to conservative treatment. It can involve the hip, knee or shoulder.

  • Advanced osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Long-standing joint injury or damage
  • Daily pain despite medication and physiotherapy
  • Major loss of mobility
  • Joint deformity or visible misalignment
  • Pain disrupting sleep

Treatment may involve partial or total joint replacement using modern implants, followed by structured rehabilitation to restore functional movement.

➪ Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak or brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. It may develop silently until a fracture occurs.

  • Age-related bone density loss
  • Hormonal changes, especially after menopause
  • Calcium or vitamin D deficiency
  • Family history
  • Often no symptoms until a fracture occurs
  • Gradual loss of height
  • Stooped posture
  • Back pain from vertebral compression

Treatment may include bone density screening, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, weight-bearing exercise and medication where indicated.

➪ Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive 'keyhole' surgical technique used to diagnose and treat certain joint problems through small incisions using specialised cameras and instruments.

  • Conditions may include ACL or ligament tears
  • Meniscus tears
  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Cartilage damage, loose bodies or selected labral tears
  • Symptoms depend on the underlying joint condition and may include pain, swelling, locking, instability or restricted movement

Where appropriate, arthroscopy may allow treatment through smaller incisions with reduced tissue trauma. Recovery depends on the procedure and the condition being treated.

➪ Limb Length Discrepancy / Limb Lengthening

Limb length discrepancy means one limb is shorter than the other. Limb lengthening is a specialised reconstructive procedure used in selected cases to gradually correct the difference.

  • Congenital or childhood conditions
  • Post-traumatic shortening after severe fractures
  • Bone deformity requiring correction
  • Unequal limb length
  • Altered walking pattern
  • Functional problems related to deformity or imbalance

Advanced limb reconstruction and lengthening techniques may be used, including gradual correction with external fixation where appropriate. Treatment is carefully monitored over time.

➪ Bone & Limb Deformity

Bone or limb deformity refers to abnormal alignment or shape that may be present from birth, develop during growth or occur after an injury heals in an incorrect position.

  • Congenital conditions
  • Growth-related deformities
  • Previous injury
  • Poorly healed fractures
  • Bowed or angled limbs
  • Post-fracture malalignment
  • Joint misalignment
  • Altered gait

Treatment may include precise surgical correction using osteotomy techniques and, where needed, external fixation for gradual correction.
