Conditions
KNEE CONDITIONS
Knee problems caused by injury or disease are very common and can affect people of all ages. The knee joint allows movement in the legs while also providing stability and enough strength to hold the weight of the body, so when there is an issue it can have a huge impact. From not being able to play sports to simple tasks such as walking or rising, knee conditions can make daily life extremely painful and difficult.
Fortunately, there is something you can do about it.
From sport injuries to arthritis, Kalhor Orthopaedic treats many different orthopaedic conditions and traumas to help get you back on your feet. While we look at evidence based on practice, Kalhor Orthopaedic will also consider individual needs and tailor the treatment based on your physical and lifestyle demand.

SHOULDER CONDITIONS
Many people experience shoulder injuries, especially athletes where there is a lot of repetitive overhead motion such as swimming or weightlifting. General activities such as gardening or a simple pull on the arm can also do similar damage, and can lead to ongoing pain, arm weakness or limited joint movement.
Kalhor Orthopaedic treats many shoulder conditions such as the following:
- Rotator cuff pathology
- Shoulder instability
- Acromio-clavicular joint dislocation and arthritis
- Frozen shoulder
- Calcific tendonitis of shoulder
- Osteoarthritis, rotator cuff arthropathy and joint replacement (total shoulder replacement and reverse shoulder replacement)
- Biceps tendon pathology and injury
- Sterno-clavicular joint dislocation
- General orthopaedic and upper limb trauma
For more information about these conditions please refer to the educational videos on my website multimedia or visit the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
ELBOW CONDITIONS
You don’t have to be a golfer or tennis player to have painful or persistent elbow issues. Other activities where the elbow is overused can have the same effect. Arthritis, nerve conditions and fractures are some of the other reasons for an elbow or forearm problem to flare up or be consistently present. Stiffness is also a very common condition after trauma or injury. Fortunately, the elbow is somehow a forgiving joint and the shoulder and wrist can compensate for its stiffness; however, if you’re experiencing this condition and are unable to cope, Kalhor Orthopaedic is happy to assist you.
Elbow conditions and treatments Kalhor Orthopaedic looks after include:
- Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, partial and total elbow replacement
- Impingement
- Instability
- Cartilage damage
- Stiffness
- Ulnar nerve compression (cubital tunnel syndrome)
- Medial and lateral epicondylitis (golfer and tennis elbow)
- Elbow arthroscopy
