What Dr. Khan treats
Services
Adult reconstruction, sports injury and complex trauma care.
Dr. Khan’s practice covers the full arc of adult musculoskeletal care, from the first consultation about a painful joint through surgery and back to walking unaided.
Adult Reconstructive and Joint Replacement Surgery
Primary, bilateral and revision replacement of the knee, hip and shoulder using international-grade implants. This is the core of the practice: roughly a third of Dr. Khan’s operative work is primary and complex revision joint replacement, including reverse and anatomical shoulder arthroplasty and the salvage cases other centres decline.
Sports Injuries and Arthroscopy
Keyhole arthroscopic surgery for torn cruciate ligaments, meniscal tears and other joint injuries that keep active people off their feet — with rehabilitation planned from the outset so recovery is measured in a return to sport, not just a healed scan.
Complex Articular Fracture and Trauma
Fractures involving the joint surface, post-traumatic bone loss, skeletal deformity and musculoskeletal infection. These are the reconstructions where alignment decided in theatre determines whether a joint works properly for decades.
Arthritis and Joint Preservation
Knee and hip arthritis, back pain and bone health, managed from conservative treatment through to replacement when the time is right — including free assessment at the World Osteoporosis Day camps Dr. Khan has organised every year since 2014.
Complex surgeries
The cases other centres refer on.
With extensive experience in complex reconstructive procedures, Dr. Farooq Azam Khan has successfully performed advanced hip, knee, and shoulder joint replacement surgeries, including revision and salvage cases.
Revision Total Hip Replacement
Re-doing failed hip implants — including bilateral total hip replacement.
Bilateral Total Knee Replacement
Both knees restored under one coordinated surgical plan.
Shoulder Arthroplasty
Reverse and anatomical total shoulder replacement.
Distal Femur Replacement
Specialised femoral reconstruction for severe bone loss.
Arthroscopic Elbow Surgery
