Overview
Joint Replacement / Arthroplasty at a glance
Arthroplasty is high-volume, protocol-driven surgery where small systematic gains compound across a practice.
Focus areas include enhanced recovery, infection prevention, bearing choice and registry-grade outcome tracking.
Common conditions
Presentations that dominate the clinic and emergency workload in this subspecialty.
End-stage osteoarthritis
Pain and function failing maximal non-operative care.
Inflammatory arthritis
Soft-tissue quality and medication timing alter planning.
Post-traumatic arthritis
Retained hardware and deformity complicate exposure.
Prosthetic loosening
Aseptic loosening distinguished from low-grade infection.
Instability after arthroplasty
Component position, balance and soft-tissue causes.
Procedures
Core operative procedures, from day-care work to complex reconstruction.
Primary hip and knee replacement
Standardised pathways with day-care potential.
Partial knee replacement
Compartment-specific resurfacing.
Revision arthroplasty
Bone loss reconstruction and constraint escalation.
Two-stage exchange
Spacer strategy for chronic infection.
Bilateral staged procedures
Patient selection and interval planning.
Surgical techniques
Technical detail and decision points discussed by faculty in this hub.
Enhanced recovery protocols
Multimodal analgesia and same-day mobilisation.
Soft-tissue balancing
Sequential release logic with gap measurement.
