Dislocations

Trauma to a joint can disrupt its natural alignment, resulting in malpositioned joint parts. This condition is referred to as a dislocation and is frequently observed in joints like the fingers, toes, and patella. Ankle dislocations often coincide with ankle fractures, while dislocations of the elbow and hip can also occur.

Effective management typically involves the prompt realignment of the dislocated joint. In some cases, specialised surgery may be required to surgically stabilise the joint post-realignment.

My approach is centered on swift and accurate joint relocation, followed by personal comprehensive care. I understand the significance of restoring joint function and minimising discomfort, and I am here to guide you through every step of the process.

Whether it’s a dislocation or another joint concern, trust me to provide expert care and support for your recovery.
