Orthopaedic Surgery for Women's Health
Foot & Ankle
Thomson Medical's visiting orthopaedic specialists provide comprehensive care to address these conditions, focusing on pain relief, correction of deformities, and restoration of function to help women maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
Hip & Knee
Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to alleviate pain and restore function in patients with severely damaged knee joints due to arthritis or injury. In this procedure, the damaged surfaces of the knee are replaced with artificial components, resulting in improved mobility and significant pain relief.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols are an integral part of modern TKR procedures, ensuring that patients experience a faster, smoother recovery.
Hip fractures are a common and serious concern for ageing women, particularly those with osteoporosis, as well as women who have experienced the physical stresses of pregnancy and childbirth. These fractures can significantly impact mobility and quality of life.
Hip Fracture Repair involves surgical interventions aimed at stabilising the fracture and restoring function to the hip joint.
Shoulder & Elbow
Carpal Tunnel Release Treatment for Pregnant Women
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is common among pregnant women due to fluid retention and hormonal changes, leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and fingers.
Carpal Tunnel Release is a surgical procedure to relieve these symptoms by reducing pressure on the median nerve. This treatment is particularly beneficial for pregnant women with severe or persistent symptoms.
Key aspects of Carpal Tunnel Release for pregnant women in Singapore:
Spine
Women may experience various spine-related conditions due to factors such as osteoporosis, hormonal changes, and physical stresses from pregnancy and childbirth. Our key orthopaedic spine services include:
Spinal Fusion
Joining vertebrae to treat conditions like scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, and degenerative disc disease.
Laminectomy
Removing part of a vertebra to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, often for spinal stenosis.
Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty
Minimally invasive procedures to stabilise compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. Kyphoplasty involves inflating a balloon before cement injection.
Discectomy and Micro-discectomy
Removing herniated disc material to relieve nerve pressure, with micro-discectomy using smaller incisions for faster recovery.
Spinal Disc Replacement
Replacing a damaged or herniated (slipped) spinal disc with an artificial one to maintain motion, as an alternative to fusion.Scoliosis Surgery
Correcting abnormal spinal curvature using spinal fusion and instrumentation like rods and screws.
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
Techniques using smaller incisions to treat various spinal conditions, resulting in less tissue damage and quicker recovery.
Facet Joint Injections and Medial Branch Blocks
Injections to diagnose and relieve pain from facet joint arthritis or inflammation.
Our orthopaedic spine services focus on relieving pain, improving function, and enhancing quality of life for women.

Labral Repair

Achilles Tendon Repair
Surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon, often resulting from acute sports injuries.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) Surgery
Removal of damaged tissue and repair of the extensor tendon to relieve pain and restore function.
Patellar Tendon Repair
Surgical repair of the patellar tendon in the knee, often required after acute injury.
Hip Arthroscopy
Minimally invasive procedure to treat labral tears, impingement, and other hip joint issues.
Stress Fracture Management
Treatment of stress fractures common in athletes, involving rest, bracing, and in some cases, surgical intervention.
Cartilage Restoration
Techniques to repair or replace damaged cartilage, preserving joint function and delaying arthritis.
Shoulder Stabilisation
Procedures to address shoulder instability, often necessary after repeated dislocations or chronic instability.
Concussion Management
Comprehensive care for sports-related concussions, including diagnosis, treatment, and guidance on safe return to play.
