Paul’s approach is to treat the whole person, not just the injured body part, to ensure a return to the goals the patient is currently unable to achieve.
Paul offers a spectrum of treatments for the Hip and Knee, from injectables to the joint or subchondral bone (Subchondroplasty) arthroscopic procedures to preserve or regenerate cartilage or reconstruction procedures for ligaments or for those with severe joint damage to a minimally invasive patient-specific joint replacement.
Hip Procedures
HIP INJECTION
“A hip block injection is an Injection of steroid into the hip joint that calms the inflammation down. This is performed as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure.”
HIP ARTHROSCOPY
“Hip arthroscopy is a type of keyhole surgery used to diagnose and treat problems within joints – In this case, the hip joint.”
HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY
“Surgery for a severely damaged joint which is replaced via minimally invasive surgical techniques. 3D planning ensures accurate implant placement that is customised to the patient with reduced risk of limb length discrepancy and a faster better functional recovery.”
Knee Procedures
ARTHROSCOPIC MENISCAL SURGERY
“Keyhole surgery to treat meniscal tear via repair or resection. The aim is to repair utilising latest techniques and technology and return to activity / reduce the requirement for knee replacement.”
ARTHROSCOPIC ACL SURGERY
“Keyhole surgery to reconstruct the ACL with a graft which is usually 1 or 2 of the hamstring tendons. The latest techniques involve anatomic placement with maximal footprint coverage. Additional ALL reconstruction may be required as well.”
ARTICULAR CARTILAGE PRESERVATION AND REPAIR
“There are multiple techniques and treatment options with variable indications and success rates, and the appropriate options will be discussed. Patient age, the site and size of the damage, the integrity of the meniscus and ACL, and alignment of the…”
SUBCHONDROPLASTY PROCEDURE
“A new technique to treat the cause of pain in osteoarthritis (which is due to bone marrow necrosis in the area under the bare bone of the arthritis). Calcium Phosphate filler is injected into this area under X-ray control during…”
KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY
“Surgery for a severely damaged joint which is replaced via minimally invasive surgical techniques. 3D planning ensures accurate implant placement that is customised to the patient with a faster better functional recovery.”
