Surgical Procedures

Procedures

The below list of procedures is not exhaustive. Dr Lorentzos treats all conditions afflicting the lower-limbs of the body, specialising in hips and knees. The below list is just a small range of common surgical procedures.

Hip

Total Hip Replacement

Robotic-assisted total hip replacement uses advanced, surgeon-controlled robotic systems to remove the damaged ball and socket of your hip joint and replaces them with a prosthesis.

Hip Arthroscopy

A minimally invasive procedure where a tiny camera (arthroscope) and surgical tools are inserted through small incisions to repair issues like labral tears, hip impingement, or cartilage damage.

Knee

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Surgery

One of the most common and significant knee injuries in active people is a torn anterior cruciate ligament. This operation is an arthroscopic surgical procedure to replace a torn knee ligament with a tissue graft.

Knee Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy (also called keyhole surgery) is a common procedure that Orthopaedic Surgeons use to examine and treat conditions inside the knee.

Knee Ligament Surgery

PCL, MCL, and LCL are crucial ligaments that stabilise the knee. Injuries to these ligaments can result from trauma, sports, or sudden movements, leading to pain, instability, and restricted mobility. When these are injured, they may need to be repaired or reconstructed to re-stabilise the knee.

Partial Knee Replacement

Mako robotic surgery can be used for partial (unicompartmental) knee replacement. This minimally invasive approach resurfaces only the damaged portion of the knee joint.

Total Knee Replacement

Mako robotic surgery can be used for total knee replacement. This involves using advanced, robotic systems to precisely remove damaged bone and cartilage in the knee joint and replace it with a prosthesis.

Meniscal Repair

Meniscus tears are among the most common knee injuries, particularly with those who play contact sports. Meniscus repair surgery is a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure used to stitch or anchor a torn meniscus back together.
