We provide a full range of orthopaedic surgery - including hip replacements, sports medicine and upper and lower joint specialties.

Our first class orthopaedic services are provided at the state-of-the-art Captain Sir Tom Moore building at Halton GeneraISTC.jpgl Hospital, Runcorn.

The Captain Sir Tom Moore Building is a purpose built orthopaedic hospital centre with 44 inpatient beds, four operating theatres, dedicated day ward, physiotherapy gym, outpatient and full CT, MRI, x-ray and ultrasound scanning facilities.

Our team of 12 orthopaedic consultants are based at the centre and provide a full range of orthopaedic surgery - including hip and knee replacements, sports medicine, upper limb (shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand) and lower limb (keyhole surgery for hip and knee, foot and ankle surgery).
