What the surgeons say
Orthopaedic surgeons at Spire Bushey Hospital have welcomed the investment in NAVIO™ and have described it as “an outstanding leap forward in technology which will revolutionise knee joint replacement.”
Spire Bushey’s commitment to orthopaedic excellence
Working with leading consultants in their field, we have become the private hospital of choice for knee replacements in London and our region. Across both 2016 and 2017*, more knee replacements were carried out at Spire Bushey than any other private London hospital.
Spire Bushey is leading the way in orthopaedic surgery and has been selected by industry experts Smith & Nephew to be the first hospital in Europe to offer this pioneering new system. This cutting edge technology has already been used successfully in the US to the benefit of many patients.
Our team of expert physiotherapists provide comprehensive pre-habilitation programmes to help strengthen the limb before surgery to improve recovery. They use the onsite gym and hydrotherapy pool to support patient rehabilitation following surgery.
We offer fast access to appointments, which are available 7 days a week.
