Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics can be defined as the branch of medicine devoted to the treatment of the skeletal system. This includes joints, muscles and associated structures. Orthopaedic surgery is one of the major types of surgery performed at NHW with around 1,300 cases performed annually.

At NHW we currently have three orthopaedic surgeons who are supported by two orthopaedic registrars and an orthopaedic intern.
