Orthopaedic Consultation/Surgery
Orthopaedic Surgeons diagnose and treat a wide variety of problems related to bones, joints, muscles and tendons. Although we employ a number of non- operative modalities such as physiotherapy, bracing and injections, consideration for surgery remains the primary reason for referral. In most cases the decision to go ahead with surgery rests with the patient, although the surgeon may recommend the procedure as the best option.
Orthopaedic surgeons complete a 4 year residency programme followed in some cases by subspecialty training in a field of their particular interest. For example, our orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Stephen Reed, spent 6 months in Toronto working specifically with joint replacement surgeons at the Orthopaedic and Arthritic Hospital, followed by 6 months in Brisbane, Australia working with a sports medicine surgeon and developing his ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) repair technique. Finally, he spent 6 months again at the Orthopaedic and Arthritic Hospital doing shoulder reconstruction before starting his practice.
Consultation with our Orthopaedic Surgeon requires referral from a primary care physician or a Sports Medicine doctor. Having investigations such as X-rays and MRI scans completed prior to the Orthopaedic consult is extremely useful and helps expedite diagnosis and treatment. In addition, having tried non-operative therapies such as physiotherapy and injection before seeing the surgeon makes any decision regarding surgery more straightforward. Such preparation is usually organised by a Sports Medicine Specialist.

Thank you for providing an integrated approach to health and fitness. I was referred to SEMI for physiotherapy for the debilitating pain of sciatica. As treatment progressed, I also added exercise, massage, osteopathy treatments and counseling with the dietician for weight loss, all available at SEMI. It was wonderful the way the services offered all worked together to compliment and support each other to promote recovery and renewed health. Today I am pain free and healthier and fitter than ever !
