Arthroplasty is commonly used to treat:

- Joint Injuries: Severe trauma that results in joint damage.
- Osteoarthritis: The most frequent reason for joint replacement.
- Other Conditions: Causes of joint pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.

With advances in medical technology, many arthroplasty surgeries are now performed using minimally invasive techniques. These methods involve smaller incisions, leading to less pain, faster recovery times, and reduced scarring.
Our Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) Programme is Malaysia’s premier osteoporosis treatment and secondary fracture prevention initiative.
Benefits of FLS
- Treat the Root Cause: We address underlying osteoporosis and sarcopenia (muscle loss due to ageing) to target the source of the problem.
- Reduce the Risk: Our personalised plans are designed to maintain your bone health and prevent future fractures, reducing the risk of suffering from another broken bone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What types of orthopaedic conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide range of orthopaedic conditions, including bone fractures, joint pain, spine issues, sports injuries, arthritis, and more. Our specialists offer both conservative treatments and surgical options to address these conditions.
How do I know if I need surgery?
Surgery is usually considered after conservative treatments like medication, physiotherapy, or injections have not provided relief. Our orthopaedic specialists will assess your condition and recommend surgery only if necessary to restore function and alleviate pain.
What is the recovery time after orthopaedic surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and your overall health. Minimally Invasive Surgeries generally have shorter recovery periods. Your surgeon will provide a personalised recovery plan, including physiotherapy and follow-up visits.
What are the benefits of early intervention for orthopaedic issues?
Early intervention can prevent the worsening of conditions, reduce the need for surgery, and improve recovery outcomes. It can also help manage pain more effectively and maintain your quality of life.
Can I get a second opinion on my diagnosis or treatment plan?
Absolutely. We encourage patients to seek second opinions if they have any doubts about their diagnosis or treatment options. Our specialists are available to provide a comprehensive review and offer alternative solutions if needed.
