Orthopaedics
The Orthopaedic Department at University Hospital Lewisham cares for patients who have injured their bones or joints.
We have a close working relationship with radiology, which means that if you need an x-ray, you will be seen by both departments on the same day.
We are part of the Lewisham MSK service which can provide a fast turn-around orthopaedic service where if it is clinically suitable.
