Recurrent shoulder dislocation or rotator-cuff tearsInstability, overhead weakness, painful arc
Ligament ruptures (ACL, ankle, wrist, thumb)Instability, swelling, loss of sport function

Benefits of Modern Orthopaedic Surgery

  • Key-hole techniques mean less pain, minimal scarring, faster discharge (often same day).

  • Robotic & custom guides ensure perfect implant alignment → longer prosthesis life.

  • Orthobiologic adjuncts encourage natural cartilage repair and delay joint replacement.

  • Multidisciplinary team guarantees seamless transition to physiotherapy and sports re-conditioning.

Potential Risks & Limitations

General Surgical Risks Procedure-Specific Considerations
Infection < 1 % (laminar flow, antibiotics) Joint-stiffness if rehab not followed
Clots (DVT/PE) < 0.5 % (mechanical pumps, anticoagulant) Dislocation after hip replacement (precautions taught)
Bleeding or haematoma Implant loosening / wear over time (average 15–25 yrs)
Nerve or vessel injury < 0.1 % Graft failure after ACL if return-to-sport too early
Anaesthetic reaction (rare) Persistent pain / CRPS (0.2 %)
FAQ

Frequently Ask Questions.

Everything you want to know about Orthopedic Surgery in London Liv & Harley Street Hospital.

Our consultants review X-rays, MRI and your lifestyle goals. Severe cartilage loss or deformity replacement; focal tear with good cartilage arthroscopy or biologics.

No—the surgeon controls every step. Robotics act as a GPS to position implants within sub-millimetre accuracy.

Modern ceramic-on-polyethylene or oxinium implants last 90 %+ at 20 years. Activity, weight and bone quality influence longevity.

Orthobiologics work best for early degeneration or isolated chondral lesions. They cannot restore fully worn-out joints.

Arthroscopy: 3-5 days (automatic) once off narcotics; hip/knee replacement: usually 4 weeks after you can do an emergency stop safely.
