Prioritising your bone health is essential for long-term mobility. Osteoporosis often develops silently, weakening bones and increasing the risk of fractures.

Every knee is different. The CORI Surgical System allows us to personalise your procedure with remarkable detail.

Instead of a generic approach, Dr Bugwandin uses the CORI system to map your unique anatomy during surgery to create a 3D digital model of your knee. This allows for the selection of the correct implant size and virtual placement of the implant, ensuring optimal alignment before a single cut is made.

It is truly bespoke care for your joint.

Discover the true meaning of 'robotic assistance' in joint replacement.

When we speak about robotic-assisted surgery, there can be a common misconception that a machine performs the procedure.

The reality is quite the opposite. Dr Bugwandin is always in full control.

There is nothing more frustrating than being in pain and being told everything looks fine.

Severe Vitamin D deficiency can cause diffuse bone pain that is often mislabelled as arthritis or even fibromyalgia. Because this doesn't show up on a standard X-ray, it frequently goes undiagnosed. A simple blood test can tell us the truth and help us treat the root cause of that deep, aching pain.

Many patients assume that popping a calcium supplement is the automatic answer to bone health. The reality is a bit more complex.

While many of us do not get enough calcium from our diet alone, supplements are not always the silver bullet. Absorption matters just as much as intake. We believe in testing before treating. Let’s determine if your body is actually absorbing what it needs before we add more pills to your daily routine.
