- [ACL Reconstruction](https://scorthogroup.com.au/our-services/acl-reconstruction-surgery/): The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important ligament contributing to the stability of the knee. It is most useful for changing direction ‘pivoting’, particularly at higher speed. Some patients may rehabilitate successfully with physiotherapy alone, but some patients, particularly those who enjoy pivoting sports (eg. rugby, football, netball, surfing, tennis or skiing) may require ACL Reconstruction Surgery to get them back to their active lifestyle. Performed by our orthopaedic surgeons, this procedure involves removing and replacing the torn ligament with a band of tissue called a tendon.
- [Hip Fracture Management](https://scorthogroup.com.au/our-services/hip-fracture-surgery/): The hip is a ball and socket joint. It allows the upper leg to bend and rotate at the pelvis. A hip fracture is a break which occurs in the upper part of the femur. The type of surgery used to treat this depends on which bones and soft tissue are affected and the level of the fracture. (An injury to the socket is not considered a hip fracture and management of fractures of this area is a completely different consideration.)

- [Total Knee Replacement](https://scorthogroup.com.au/our-services/knee-replacement-surgery/): Knee replacement surgery treats severe knee pain that has stopped responding to other treatments, like pain medication. If you experience pain caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, knee replacement may help reduce your pain and restore your mobility. Total or partial knee replacement works by surgically removing part or all of a worn and painful joint and replacing it with a man-made joint (known as a prosthesis). Most people can return to normal life within 3 months of a knee replacement and you can return to many activities sooner.
