Physiotherapists, imaging specialists and colleagues for every other joint are part of the same team, so you get one coordinated plan rather than being passed from clinic to clinic.
Complex scans and difficult problems are reviewed by more than one specialist.
For complex reconstruction, two consultants operate together.
