Orthopaedic surgery focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions affecting your musculoskeletal system. This includes your bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissues.
While many orthopaedic conditions can be treated without surgery, some patients benefit from surgical intervention when symptoms persist despite conservative treatment or when significant structural damage is present.
Orthopaedic surgery covers a wide range of procedures, from minimally invasive keyhole techniques to joint replacement surgery and complex reconstructions.
The goal is to reduce pain, improve function, and help you return to your normal activities with greater comfort and confidence.
The cost of your surgery will depend on various factors, including the details of the procedure and which consultant you choose. We’ll give you a full itemised quote before you book.

Orthopaedic surgeons diagnose and treat a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions.
Common conditions include:
Depending on your diagnosis, your consultant may recommend non-surgical treatment, surgery, or a combination of approaches to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
The most appropriate procedure for you will depend on your symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment goals.
At Chelsfield Park Hospital, common orthopaedic procedures include:
Joint replacement surgery is commonly performed for advanced arthritis and severe joint damage. During the procedure, damaged parts of the joint are replaced with artificial components designed to reduce pain and improve movement.
Common joint replacement procedures include hip replacement, knee replacement, and shoulder replacement surgery.
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows your surgeon to examine and treat problems inside a joint using a small camera and specialised instruments.
It can be used to diagnose and treat cartilage damage, inflammation, ligament injuries, and other joint problems affecting the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist.
Because only small incisions are required, recovery is often quicker than with traditional open surgery.
Ligaments and tendons play a vital role in supporting your joints and allowing movement.
If these structures become damaged through injury or wear and tear, surgery may be recommended to repair or reconstruct them. Common procedures include ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, and tendon repair surgery.
Orthopaedic surgeons also perform a range of procedures to treat conditions affecting the hand and wrist.
These may include carpal tunnel release, trigger finger surgery, ganglion cyst removal, and treatment for arthritis or tendon injuries affecting the hand and wrist.
Not necessarily. Many musculoskeletal conditions can be successfully managed without an operation.
Before recommending surgery, your consultant will usually explore non-surgical treatment options where appropriate. These may include physiotherapy, medication, injection therapy, activity modification, and pain management strategies.
Surgery is generally considered when conservative treatments have not provided sufficient relief or when there is structural damage that is unlikely to improve without surgical intervention.
Your consultant will discuss all available options with you and explain the potential benefits and risks of each approach.
Before your procedure, you'll attend a detailed consultation and pre-operative assessment.
This allows your consultant to review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, explain the proposed surgery, and answer any questions you may have.
You may also undergo imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, or ultrasound examinations to help plan your treatment.
Your pre-operative assessment helps ensure you are medically fit for surgery and provides an opportunity to discuss your recovery and rehabilitation plan.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure you undergo and your individual circumstances.
In the early stages, you may experience some swelling, discomfort, and temporary restrictions in movement. Your care team will provide pain management support and advice to help you recover comfortably.
Physiotherapy is often an important part of recovery and can help restore strength, flexibility, and function following surgery.
Your consultant will monitor your progress through follow-up appointments and guide you through each stage of your rehabilitation.
One of the main aims of orthopaedic surgery is to help you return to the activities that have become difficult because of pain or reduced mobility.
Depending on the procedure, you may gradually return to work, exercise, hobbies, and everyday tasks over a period of weeks or months.
Your rehabilitation programme will be tailored to your recovery goals and designed to help you achieve the best possible long-term outcome.
