We provide specialist orthopaedic care at King’s Elective Orthopaedic Centre, Orpington Hospital.
Our purpose-built centre has state-of-the-art operating theatres and a dedicated team of surgeons, anaesthetists, theatre and ward nurses, and therapists, providing the very best of care.
We carry out inpatient and day surgery. Outpatient clinics are held at Orpington, Princess Royal University, and King’s College hospitals.
We offer a full range of surgical treatment for a variety of conditions, including:
