Frequently asked questions
Which orthopaedic concerns can international patients enquire about?
International patients can enquire about knee replacement, hip replacement, ACL reconstruction, revision joint replacement and complex orthopaedic problems. Suitability for any procedure is determined individually after the required clinical assessment.
What records should I prepare for a provisional review?
Prepare a short medical history, recent imaging and reports, a current medication list, and any prior operation notes, implant records or discharge summaries relevant to the problem. Submit the enquiry form first and the team will explain the appropriate route for sending records.
Can a remote review confirm my diagnosis or surgery?
