Infection: Chronic or acute joint infections that require the removal of infected tissue and reconstruction.
Trauma: Joint fractures and injuries, which would require advanced reconstructive surgery.
What is involved in Complex Joint Replacement?
This involves a thorough consultation and analysis of your joint problem, understanding it, analysing the investigations and then discussion with the patient how best to move forward to offer pain relief and plan surgery.

- Robotic Surgery: Robots ensure high precision for improvement in implant alignment and reduction in complications.
- Individually designed and modular prostheses: Custom designs and flexible parts are for particular configurations of the anatomy.
- Bone Grafting and Reconstruction: Bone grafts restore the integrity of structure in large bone deficiencies.
- Management of infection: Two-stage surgery for the infected joint is a combined cleaning followed by implantation.
