Does Dr. Hamie treat sports injuries in athletes?
Yes. Dr. Hamie holds the FIFA Diploma in Football Medicine and completed a SICOT Travelling Fellowship in ACL surgery. He treats ACL, meniscus, ligament and kneecap injuries with a plan built around your sport.
Do I need surgery for my condition?
Not always. Medication, physiotherapy, injections and activity changes come first where they are likely to work. Surgery is recommended when they no longer give enough relief.
What is robotic knee surgery?
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses a 3D plan of your knee and a robotic arm that guides the surgeon to position the implant accurately. Dr. Hamie performs the operation; the robot assists.
Recovery
How long is the recovery period?
It depends on the procedure and your health. Keyhole procedures often take a few weeks; joint replacement and ligament reconstruction need several months of guided rehabilitation.
Will I be able to return to sports?
Many patients return to sport after treatment. Timing depends on the injury, the treatment and your rehabilitation, so Dr. Hamie sets a return-to-sport plan with clear milestones.
