At The Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle, we have a dedicated orthopaedic suite which offers a wide range of orthopaedic surgery options to effectively treat conditions and injuries affecting your joints.
Your bones, joints and their structures are known as your musculoskeletal system. Your musculoskeletal system protects your vital organs, supports your bodily functions, and allows you to move properly. Musculoskeletal injuries and disorders can cause pain and severe swelling, which can severely impact your quality of life. If treatment options such as physiotherapy and steroid injections have not helped alleviate your symptoms, you might need surgery.
At The Alexandra Hospital, we offer traditional knee replacement surgery as well as Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery. Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery is when your surgeon uses robotic technology to help them perform the procedure, this surgical system allows them to be more precise and accurate. This can offer a range of benefits, including less pain and a faster recovery.
