Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure which uses a high-definition, fiber optic camera that is about the diameter of a pencil to perform surgery through small incisions. This allows fast recovery and minimum pain. No hospitalization is required.
Arthroscopy is also used to diagnose and treat virtually all joint problems, including those of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle.
The main benefits are to restore mobility and to relieve pain. Based on statistics, a typical total hip or knee replacement lasts at least 20 years in about 80 percent of patients, which lets patients enjoy their favorite activities without pain.
Healing times depend largely on the patient’s overall health, body type and lifestyle. With proper care, rest and therapy, patients heal sufficiently to return to most activities of daily living within several weeks of their procedure.
Surgery is an option for certain orthopaedic problems and often for those conditions that do not alleviate symptoms. Seek a comprehensive consultation with our orthopaedic surgeon before any procedure is advised.
The consultation fee for the first visit is $170 and above (exclude GST). The overall cost will depend on the type of procedure or medicine needed, and financial counselling will be provided before any procedure is performed.
We value your time and want to minimise your waiting time in the clinic. As such, you are strongly encouraged to make an appointment with our staff so that a time may be allocated for our orthopaedic surgeon to meet you. Please call or email us for an appointment.
