Welcome to keep me active, the
website dedicated to keeping patients informed of the latest
developments in joint replacement and ligament reconstruction,
including procedures such as Hip Resurfacing, which are designed
to offer younger patients a more active lifestyle after
joint replacement.
Hip Resurfacing has been one of the most important innovations
in orthopaedic surgery of the last few years, offering younger,
active patients the possibility of a normal lifestyle, without
fear of wearing out their implant. The
My Hip section of this
website explains the differences between
Hip Resurfacing and
conventional total hip replacement, and contains lots of
useful information, including Case Studies from patients who
have undergone this procedure.
You can also find out about surgeons in your area or country
who offer these treatment options.
This site replaces the old
www.resurfacingofthehip.com website. If you have
been redirected from www.resurfacingofthehip.com, please
click on the
My Hip icon to go to the
resurfacing area of the site.
Knee replacements
have also advanced in recent years, with mobile bearing
total knees and unicondylar knee replacements providing
further treatment choices for patients wishing to be more
active, or wanting more conservative surgery. The
My Kneesection of this
website explains the technology behind these implants and
who they are suitable for.
Although patient
interest in new orthopaedic technology and techniques has
centred around Hip Resurfacing and knee replacement, more
patients are now expressing interest in learning about
treatment options for other types of joint replacement. This
site now contains areas which deal with replacement of the
shoulder and ankle joint, and you can access these by
clicking on the
My Shoulder or
My Ankle icons on this
page. There is also information about ligament
reconstruction for the treatment of traumatic injuries of
key ligaments in various joints in the body, which you can
access by clicking on the
My Ligament icon.
