Orthopaedic surgeons are one of the larger surgical groups at Andrews.
Not every joint problem needs an operation. Your surgeon may recommend physiotherapy, injections, a brace or medicine first, and surgery only if those don’t give enough relief.

- Broken bones and dislocations
- Sports injuries, including torn ligaments and cartilage

Questions people ask
I think I’ve broken something. Where do I go?
Come to Accident & Emergency, which is open 24 hours. The injury can be X-rayed on site, and the Outpatient and Emergency team can call a specialist when one is needed.
How long will I be in hospital after joint surgery?
It depends on the operation and on you. Your surgeon will give you an estimate beforehand, and it’s worth arranging help at home for the first weeks.
