Uni-compartmental knee replacement: a solution for end-stage knee osteoarthritis with a fast recovery and excellent functional outcome
Uni-compartmental knee replacement (UKR) is a highly effective surgical treatment for carefully selected patients with end-stage osteoarthritis affecting only one part of the knee. Unlike a total knee replacement, which resurfaces the entire joint, a UKR replaces only the damaged compartment while preserving healthy bone, cartilage and ligaments. This focused approach can provide excellent pain relief, a more natural-feeling knee, faster recovery and a return to higher levels of function for many patients.

Pain after joint replacement: investigation, management and prevention
Joint replacement surgery is one of the most successful procedures in modern orthopaedics, helping thousands of patients in the UK regain mobility and reduce pain every year. However, a small proportion of patients continue to experience pain after surgery or develop symptoms months or years later. The key to managing a painful joint replacement is identifying the underlying cause through a systematic assessment. Once the diagnosis is established, treatment may range from physiotherapy and medication to advanced revision surgery. In many cases, modern imaging, computer-assisted planning and improved surgical techniques can successfully address the problem and restore function.

What is the Optimised Positioning System (OPS)? How precision technology is transforming hip replacement
Hip replacement surgery is one of the most successful orthopaedic procedures, helping thousands of people each year regain mobility and reduce chronic pain. The Optimised Positioning System (OPS) is an advanced surgical planning and guidance technology designed to improve the precision of hip replacement surgery by tailoring implant positioning to an individual patient's anatomy and movement patterns. By enabling a more personalised approach, OPS aims to reduce the risks associated with implant misalignment, improve joint function, and support better long-term outcomes for patients.
