Patient Information

These pages reflect general information on orthopaedic injuries and fractures. They are not designed to replace a patient physician consultation. I appreciate that at the time of a consultation I convey a lot of knowledge and advice and it takes time to take all things in. These pages are designed to assist and augment the clinical process. I have chosen to keep a lot of the original medical words in the text. I have linked the medical terms to a definition page. Click on the word to be taken to the definition or simply rest your mouse on the term (mouseover) to see the tooltip definition in context. Click on the links below.
