Bones and joints at Sussex Premier Health

Common Bone and Joint Conditions We Treat

We provide effective orthopaedic treatments for various joint and musculoskeletal conditions. Our consultants address issues that can hinder mobility and affect overall quality of life. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we accurately identify the root cause of your discomfort and tailor a treatment plan to meet your needs. From injuries and chronic pain to degenerative conditions, our expertise ensures you receive thorough and compassionate care. Here is a list of common conditions we treat, including:

• Osteoarthritis – A degenerative joint disease that occurs when the cartilage cushioning the ends of bones wears down over time. It often leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility in affected joints, commonly in the knees, hips, or hands.
• Sports Injuries – Injuries that occur during athletic activities, such as sprains, strains, or fractures. These often result from overuse, poor training practices, or sudden impacts during physical activity.
• Chronic Joint Pain—Ongoing joint pain that lasts weeks, months, or even years. It can result from arthritis, inflammation, or repetitive joint stress.
• Ligament Tears – A tear in the tough, fibrous tissue that connects bones, often caused by sudden twisting or trauma. This injury can severely impact joint stability, commonly in the knees or ankles.
• Overuse Injuries – Injuries caused by repetitive stress or strain on a specific body part, like tendinitis or stress fractures. They often develop gradually and are common in people who perform repetitive movements.

Key Orthopaedic Treatments Offered

Our bone and joint clinic provides a comprehensive range of procedures and treatments to restore mobility, alleviate discomfort, and enhance overall quality of life. From state-of-the-art surgical options to cutting-edge, non-invasive therapies, we tailor our services to meet each patient’s unique needs. Below is a detailed outline of a few treatments we offer, showcasing the depth and diversity of our expertise:

• Hip Replacement Surgery – This surgery can significantly improve mobility and reduce chronic joint pain caused by arthritis or injury. We offer advanced, custom-tailored hip replacements for durability and optimal patient outcomes.
• Knee Replacement Surgery—Our knee replacement options include total and partial replacements, depending on the severity of the condition. We use innovative methods for unrivalled precision and enhanced recovery.
• Arthroscopy and Minimally-Invasive Treatments – Arthroscopy of joints such as the knee or shoulder allows for accurate diagnosis and repair of injuries. Minimally invasive techniques result in shorter recovery times and less postoperative discomfort.
• Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation—Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in post-surgery recovery and rehabilitation after sports injuries. Our team devises personalised care plans to help patients regain mobility and build strength effectively.
• Pain Management and Non-Surgical Options—We provide targeted joint pain treatments, including shoulder, hip, and knee injections. Additional options like epidural and facet joint injections offer effective relief for chronic back pain without surgery.
• Robotic Total Knee Replacement — The ROSA® Knee System—Precision-guided joint surgery using robotic assistance for enhanced knee implant placement. This option is ideal for treating osteoarthritis or severe joint degradation that has not responded sufficiently to conservative treatments. With ROSA®, patients benefit from sub-millimetre accuracy in alignment and implant fit, personalised surgery planning, reduced tissue trauma, usually shorter hospital stays (2-3 days), and overall improved recovery with better function and less pain.
