Orthopaedic surgery
We provide specialist orthopaedic surgery and care at King’s Elective Orthopaedic Centre, Orpington Hospital.
We carry out inpatient and day surgery. Our purpose-built centre has state-of-the-art operating theatres and a dedicated team of surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, and therapists.
We aim to get you up and moving, ready to go home, as soon as possible after surgery. To do this, we build a care plan tailored to your specific needs, including support from physiotherapists and occupational therapists.
