All About Hip & Knee Conditions

The hip and knee are crucial weight-bearing joints that provide strength, stability, and flexibility for daily movement. Over time, through injury, overuse, or degenerative change, they may develop pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At Altius Clinic Singapore, our orthopaedic surgeons specialise in the full spectrum of hip and knee conditions, from sports-related injuries to advanced arthritis requiring total joint replacement surgery.

Prevention Tips

Prevention is always better than a cure. Here are practical ways to protect your hip and knee joints:

  • Warm Up & Cool Down
    Prepare your muscles and joints before and after exercise.
  • Gradual Progression

    Increase training intensity gradually (no more than 10% per week).
  • Use Proper Equipment & Technique

    Work with coaches or specialists to ensure correct biomechanics.
  • Maintain Flexibility & Muscle Balance
    Strengthen supporting muscle groups.
  • Rest When Needed
    Listen to your body and avoid pushing through persistent pain.

When to See a Hip & Knee Specialist

Seek assessment by an orthopaedic surgeon if you experience:

  • Persistent hip or knee pain lasting over two weeks
  • Pain that interferes with sleep, walking, or climbing stairs
  • Swelling, grinding, or joint locking
  • Failure of previous joint surgery or persistent instability

Early specialist management can slow degeneration, relieve pain, and in many cases, delay or avoid joint replacement entirely.

Assessment and Diagnosis

At Altius Clinic, your orthopaedic doctor will begin with a detailed consultation and physical examination to understand your symptoms and how the injury occurred. We may recommend imaging, such as X‑rays for joint space and alignment analysis, MRI scans for soft tissue, cartilage, and ligament assessment, CT scans for detailed 3D bone mapping prior to robotic joint replacement surgery, or gait analysis and digital templating software to plan implant positioning and limb alignment with millimetric accuracy.

Once we have a complete assessment, we will guide you through every step of your recovery journey, whether that involves physiotherapy, injections, or surgery. Our orthopaedic specialists also advise on safe training techniques and personalised exercise programmes to reduce long-term injury risk and protect your joint health.
