Hip Replacement - A hip replacement, also known as hip arthroplasty, can significantly improve your quality of life if you are experiencing chronic hip pain, stiffness or reduced mobility due to conditions like arthritis, fractures or other joint issues. The procedure involves replacing the damaged parts of your hip joint with an artificial prosthesis which helps to alleviate pain and restore function. Our goal is to help you regain the active lifestyle you deserve with a hip replacement that is tailored towards your specific needs.
Revision Hip Replacement - If you are experiencing pain, instability or reduced function after an initial hip replacement, a revision may be necessary to restore comfort and mobility. During this procedure, part or all of the old hip replacement may be removed and replaced with a new one, addressing any underlying issues, like implant loosening, infection or wear. Implant selection can be tailored to your individual needs, including the use of custom made implants where required. The goal of the surgery is to enhance your overall function and quality of life, ensuring your return to activities you can enjoy with less discomfort and more confidence.
Knee Replacement - If you have been experiencing constant knee pain, especially when walking, climbing stairs or whilst doing everyday activities, and other treatments, including medication, physiotherapy and injections have not helped, knee replacement surgery, or knee arthroplasty, can provide significant and lasting pain relief. It will also allow you to regain much of the function and range of motion that has been lost due to joint damage. The surgery removes the damaged parts of the joint and replaces them with a prosthesis. This artificial knee joint is designed to move similarly to a healthy knee allowing you to return to activities you enjoy and may have been avoiding therefore, improving your quality of life.
Revision Knee Replacement - Knee revision surgery is a procedure performed to replace a previous knee replacement that is worn out, become loose or is now causing complications including infection, instability or deformity. During the surgery, the surgeon will remove the old prosthesis and any damaged tissue or bone, and a new and durable prosthesis is then implanted. Depending on your case, the surgeon may implant a different type of prosthesis such as a custom or larger implant to ensure better stability and fit to provide you with many years of pain relief and improved function.
Specialist Amputation Service Including Osseointegration - Mr Parry works as part of the Birmingham Amputee Clinic, a specialist service targeted at improving the quality of life for patients who have undergone an amputation or who are contemplating amputation to improve their quality of life following trauma or treatment for other conditions including cancer and infection.
