Joint replacement, spinal surgery and sports orthopaedics. Every procedure is specified, measured and documented — because a patient who understands what is about to happen to their body recovers better than one who does not.
Four consultant orthopaedic surgeons and one spinal surgeon, operating from a dedicated orthopaedic theatre in Lagos.
Five regions we operate on. Click any part of the figure to read what we treat there, and what the procedure involves.

Most orthopaedic websites tell you that a knee replacement "restores mobility". That is not information. This page tells you the implant material, the approach, the anaesthetic, the length of stay, and the expected return to work — because those are the things a patient actually needs to decide.
We publish our revision rate. Not every centre will. We think a surgeon who will not tell you how often their operations need redoing has not earned your trust yet.
All figures on this page are illustrative and typical for a centre of this kind. Individual outcomes depend on the patient, the indication and the implant used.
Each procedure specified the way a component would be: approach, materials, anaesthesia, stay, and return to function.
Resurfacing the three compartments of the knee with metal and polyethylene components. For end-stage osteoarthritis where conservative management has failed.
| Approach | Medial parapatellar |
| Implant | Cobalt-chrome femoral, titanium tibial, XLPE insert |
| Fixation | Cemented |
| Anaesthesia | Spinal + adductor canal block |
| Hospital stay | 2–3 nights |
| Weight bearing | Full, day of surgery |
| Return to driving | 6 weeks |
| Return to work (sedentary) | 6–8 weeks |
Replacing the femoral head and acetabular socket. One of the most reliable operations in medicine, with a long documented survival profile.
| Approach | Posterior or direct lateral |
| Implant | Titanium stem, ceramic or metal head, XLPE liner |
| Fixation | Cemented or uncemented |
| Anaesthesia | Spinal |
| Hospital stay | 2–3 nights |
| Weight bearing | Full, day of surgery |
| Return to driving | 6 weeks |
| Dislocation risk | <2% with modern bearings |
Relieving pressure on nerve roots or the spinal cord caused by disc herniation or stenosis. Performed where conservative treatment has not resolved radicular symptoms.
| Approach | Posterior, minimally invasive where suitable |
| Levels | Usually 1–2 |
| Anaesthesia | General |
| Hospital stay | 1–2 nights |
| Mobilisation | Day of surgery |
| Return to desk work | 3–4 weeks |
| Return to manual work | 8–12 weeks |
| Success rate | 80–90% for leg pain |
Keyhole surgery for meniscal tears, ligament reconstruction and shoulder impingement. Diagnostic and therapeutic in the same procedure.
| Portals | 2–3, each ~5mm |
| Anaesthesia | Spinal or general |
| Hospital stay | Day case |
| Weight bearing | Depends on procedure |
| Return to sport | 6 weeks (meniscectomy) to 9 months (ACL) |
| Wound care | Waterproof dressings, shower next day |
Internal fixation of long bone and periarticular fractures using plates, screws, nails or external fixation depending on the fracture pattern and soft tissue envelope.
| Implant | Titanium or stainless steel |
| Fixation type | Plate / intramedullary nail / ex-fix |
| Anaesthesia | Spinal or general |
| Hospital stay | 1–5 nights depending on injury |
| Union time | 6–12 weeks |
| Implant removal | Only if symptomatic |
Collected prospectively and audited annually. We publish the revision rate because it is the number that matters most over the long term.
| Measure | Axis | Benchmark | Relative |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knee implant survival at 10 years | 96.2% | 94.0% | |
| Hip implant survival at 10 years | 97.1% | 95.5% | |
| Spinal decompression — leg pain relief | 86% | 80% | |
| Return to driving after knee replacement | 6 wks | 7 wks | |
| Revision rate at 5 years | 1.4% | 2.6% | |
| Surgical site infection | 0.4% | 1.0% |
Illustrative figures for a centre of this kind. Benchmarks drawn from published national joint registry data.
History, examination, and imaging review. We tell you what is wrong and what the options are.
Bloods, ECG, anaesthetic review, and templating of the implant against your own imaging.
Strength and education before surgery. Patients who pre-hab recover measurably faster.
Performed to the specification in Fig. 02. Implant details recorded to your file and the registry.
Physiotherapy from day one, then structured follow-up at 2, 6 and 12 weeks, then annually.
Primary hip and knee arthroplasty. Performs the majority of the centre's joint replacement work, with a particular interest in revision surgery.
Degenerative spine, disc surgery and minimally invasive decompression. Runs the centre's spinal outcome audit.
Arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction and fracture fixation. Team physician to two Lagos football clubs.
A consultation is 45 minutes with the consultant who would perform your surgery. Bring any X-rays, MRI or CT imaging, and any previous operative notes.
