Limb Salvage and Revision Arthroplasty Surgery
Limb Salvage and Revision Arthroplasty Surgery
Limb Salvage and Revision Arthroplasty Surgery represents a standard of excellence built on two decades of orthopaedic leadership in Singapore. Originally established with a focus on high-complexity joint replacement, we were pioneers in bringing the Exeter Hip philosophy to our region.
We led the way in introducing ceramic bearings and the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) for hips, alongside specialized High Mobility Knee Replacements designed for patients who demand a return to an active, high-functioning lifestyle.
Our practice has also become a leading center for advanced Revision Arthroplasty Techniques. We specialize in managing the most difficult failures of previous hip and knee surgeries, utilizing innovative reconstruction methods to restore stability and function.
Today, we apply this mastery of mechanical precision to the challenges of Musculoskeletal Oncology. We don't just perform surgery; we engineer biological and mechanical reconstructions designed to save limbs and restore life. By combining our heritage in complex arthroplasty with advanced salvage techniques, we offer solutions to patients where others may see no alternative.
We specialize in the surgical management of bone and soft tissue tumors, prioritizing the preservation of the patient’s native limb. Utilizing advanced techniques like Cryosurgery and biological reconstruction, we aim to eliminate the disease while maintaining maximum physical function and aesthetic balance.
Do you need a quick diagnosis to decide what to do next?
When primary joint replacements fail due to wear, infection, or instability, we provide specialized Revision Arthroplasty Techniques. We handle the most challenging cases, utilizing advanced imaging and megaprostheses to restore mobility and stability where previous surgeries have failed.
We offer next-generation primary joint replacements, including the Exeter Hip and High Mobility Knee Replacements. By utilizing the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) and ceramic bearings, we focus on muscle-sparing techniques that allow for a faster recovery and a return to an active, high-functioning lifestyle.
What is the primary goal of Limb Salvage Surgery? The primary goal is to remove bone or soft tissue tumors completely while preserving the function and appearance of the limb. We utilize advanced reconstructive techniques to avoid amputation, ensuring that the patient retains as much mobility and quality of life as possible.
How do Revision Arthroplasty Techniques differ from primary surgery? Revision surgery is significantly more complex than the initial joint replacement. We use specialized techniques to address bone loss, infection, or structural failure. This often involves using customized implants or megaprostheses to restore a stable, functional joint where others have failed.
What are the benefits of a High Mobility Knee Replacement? High Mobility Knee Replacements are designed for patients who require a greater range of motion for activities like squatting or kneeling. We combine these advanced implants with muscle-sparing surgical approaches to help patients return to their active lifestyles more quickly and with more natural joint feel.
Why is a multi-disciplinary approach vital for Bone Sarcoma treatment? Treating bone sarcomas requires a coordinated team of specialists. We work closely with oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists to ensure that every aspect of the tumor treatment—from biopsy to biological reconstruction—is managed with the highest level of precision and care.
