Private Service

Alastair Hadlow - Orthopaedic & Spinal Surgeon

Description

What is Orthopaedics?
 
This is an area that deals with conditions of the musculo-skeletal system (disorders of bones and joints of the limbs and spine). The speciality covers a range of different types of conditions starting with congenital (conditions which children are born with) through to degenerative (conditions relating to the wearing out of joints). The field of orthopaedics covers trauma where bones are broken or injuries are sustained to limbs.
Other conditions that sit under the spectrum of orthopaedics are metabolic conditions, neurological and inflammatory conditions.

Referral Expectations

Your GP will give you or send a referral letter to my office explaining your condition. You need to bring to your appointment:

  1. Any letters or reports from your doctor or another hospital
  2. Any x-rays, CT or MRI films and reports
  3. Your ACC number if appropriate.

Procedures / Treatments

  • Spinal Surgery

    My special interest is adult spinal surgery. This involves all surgery to do with lumbar spinal and neck complaints, as well as thoracic back problems, although these rarely require surgery.… More

  • Joint Replacement

    I perform total hip and knee joint replacement surgery.   Joint replacement surgery is commonly required to treat joints worn out by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, injury or any other illness damaging the joint and causing it to become painful and interfere with the patient's quality of life.… More

  • Arthroscopy (keyhole surgery)

    I perform arthroscopic surgery of the knee, ankle and elbow joints.… More

  • General Orthopaedic Surgery

    I perform other general orthopaedic operations involving the joints and limbs, including osteotomies, shoulder surgery such as rotator cuff surgery and surgery for dislocation;  carpal tunnel release; foot & toe surgery, torn tendons and ligaments. More
