Orthopaedic services in Buckinghamshire

At The Shelburne Hospital, we are proud to work with an extensive group of orthopaedic consultants. Appointments are often available within 48 hours with the consultant of your choice. We also provide treatment for both insured and self-paying patients.

When you visit The Shelburne Hospital, you can expect to have access to our wide-ranging diagnostic facilities. This ensures a quick diagnosis and enables our consultants to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to you.

Whatever your specific needs, our orthopaedic surgeons will provide fast and efficient treatment for problems associated with the hip, knee, spine, hand and wrist, shoulder, elbow and foot or ankle.

Working alongside registered physiotherapists, you'll be cared for and supported throughout your treatment and during your rehabilitation after surgery, if needed.

If you do require physiotherapy, your physiotherapist will recommend specific exercises to help restore movement and increase strength. These exercises are really important in helping you return to normal life as quickly as possible.

Private hip surgeons

If you're living with chronic hip pain that isn't improving, then it may be worth considering hip surgery. The hip can become damaged from degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis, as well as sports-related injuries.

Our consultant orthopaedic surgeons offer a range of hip treatments including, hip replacement surgery, hip arthroscopy and hip resurfacing. If you have hip treatment with us, our hip surgeons will provide a thorough consultation, rapid diagnosis and efficient treatment.

Knee surgery

There are many types of knee surgeries available to treat a range of conditions. Our experienced orthopaedic surgeons provide knee surgeries including, total knee replacement, knee arthroscopy, partial knee replacement and ACL reconstruction.

Having knee surgery can not only restore function, increase movement and reduce pain, but it can also improve your quality of life and enable you to return to normal activities.

What are the benefits of knee surgery?

In patients with significant injury or damage to their knee, living with intense or chronic pain, reduced movement and function, knee surgery can bring life-changing benefits. Knee surgery reduces pain, improves function and mobility, and allows you to get back to living life the way you want to.

How long does knee surgery take?

How long knee surgery takes will depend on the specific procedure. For example, total knee replacement surgery typically lasts one to two hours, while a knee arthroscopy can be anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours or more.
