What is orthopaedic care?

Orthopaedic care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and ongoing management of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. This system includes the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves that allow your body to move and function comfortably.

Orthopaedic care isn’t limited to surgery. Non-surgical approaches, such as tailored rehabilitation, physiotherapy, pain management, injections or lifestyle advice, can effectively treat many conditions. Orthopaedic consultants recommend surgery only after careful consideration and when it’s the most appropriate option for your long-term health and wellbeing.

Orthopaedic care may help if you’re experiencing:

  • Persistent joint or muscle pain
  • Reduced movement or stiffness
  • Sports or activity-related injuries
  • Wear and tear conditions, such as arthritis
  • Bone, tendon or ligament injuries
  • Nerve-related pain or weakness

At Phoenix Hospital Group, our orthopaedic consultants work closely with imaging specialists, physiotherapists and broader clinical teams to provide collaborative, personalised care at every stage. Our focus is always on helping you move more easily, reduce pain and return to everyday activities with confidence.

Private orthopaedic care experts on your doorstep

Knee

Knee pain is common and can develop for many reasons. It may follow a specific injury, build up gradually or appear without an apparent cause. Although some knee problems resolve with conservative care, ongoing or worsening symptoms may indicate an underlying issue within the joint.

Our orthopaedic knee specialists provide expert assessment and diagnosis for many knee conditions, including arthritis, ligament and cartilage injuries, sports-related problems and fractures. We focus on understanding the cause of your symptoms and recommending the most appropriate treatment, which may include rehabilitation, injections or surgical care (such as knee replacements) where needed.

Hip

Hip pain and stiffness can affect everyday activities, such as walking, sitting and sleeping. Symptoms may develop gradually due to wear and tear or arise following injury, affecting your comfort and mobility.

Our experienced orthopaedic hip specialists provide thorough assessment, diagnosis and personalised care for a range of hip conditions, including arthritis, labral tears, dysplasia, fractures and soft-tissue problems. We support you throughout your care journey, offering reassurance and clear guidance from diagnosis through to treatment and follow-up.

Shoulder and elbow

Shoulder and elbow problems can cause pain, weakness and restricted movement, often making everyday tasks uncomfortable. Overuse, sports injuries, repetitive strain or age-related changes may link these issues.

Our orthopaedic specialists offer prompt diagnosis and personalised treatment (including shoulder and elbow surgery) for a wide range of shoulder and elbow conditions. Using advanced diagnostic imaging, such as CT, MRI, X-ray and ultrasound, we assess conditions including rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, tendinopathy and tennis or golfer’s elbow, helping you regain movement and reduce discomfort.

Orthopaedic frequently asked questions (FAQs)

We understand that bone and joint concerns can raise many questions. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common queries about private orthopaedic care to inform and reassure you before your appointment.

Do I need a GP referral to see an orthopaedic consultant?

No, you do not usually need a GP referral to book a private orthopaedic appointment. However, if you have one, it can be helpful to bring it with you.

Will I need surgery for my orthopaedic condition?

Not necessarily. Many orthopaedic conditions can be managed with non-surgical treatments, such as physiotherapy, injections or lifestyle adjustments. Your consultant will only recommend surgery if it’s the most appropriate option for you.

What happens during my first appointment?

Your first appointment will focus on understanding your symptoms, medical history and any previous treatments. Your consultant may recommend diagnostic imaging to help confirm a diagnosis and discuss the next steps in your care.

Can I have diagnostic tests on the same day?

In many cases, yes. We offer same-day diagnostic imaging and screening where appropriate, helping to reduce waiting times and provide clarity as quickly as possible.

Do you treat both acute injuries and long-term conditions?

Yes. Our orthopaedic consultants assess and treat both sudden injuries and long-standing conditions, tailoring care to your individual needs.
