Orthopaedics focuses on injuries and diseases of your body's musculoskeletal system.  This complex system, which includes your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves, allows you to move and lead an active life.  Sometimes things can go wrong but, at our private healthcare clinic in Hillsborough, we have expert Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeons who can assess and treat a range of problems.  It is likely this will involve one or more of the following:

- Treatment with medication - to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief eg bursitis
- Surgery under local anaesthetic to repair damage eg carpal tunnel release, trigger finger, dupuytren's, excision of ganglions and cysts, nerve disorders, ligament injuries
- Physiotherapy - to restore movement and function

Whilst Orthopaedic surgeons are familiar with all aspects of the musculoskeletal system, many specialise in certain areas.
