Mr Fernandez treats degenerative conditions such as arthritis as well as acute trauma and sports injuries. He has a special expertise in performing arthroscopy of the knee without a tourniquet which results in a lighter anaesthetic, faster recovery and less postoperative pain. Patients who play racquet sports or work in construction and suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome will be operated on endoscopically, as this results in reduced post-operative pain and scar sensitivity. Finally, Mr Fernandez has special interest in patient-specific instrumentation for knee replacements, which results in a more accurate fit and a shorter time in the operating room. If, on occasion, a patient's case is complex and requires care beyond his area of expertise, Mr Fernandez has a wide network of experienced colleagues to whom he can refer.
