What are Orthopaedics?
Your body’s musculoskeletal system is a complex and inter-related system, and is vital to your well-being as it allows you to lead an active life, in which you have the freedom to move, work, play and be active.

Why Choose Our Orthopaedic Specialists
As a leading orthopaedic practice in northern Malaysia, Gleneagles Hospital Penang has one of the largest teams of experienced orthopaedic specialists with different sub-specialties in Penang. All our specialists are ably supported by a dedicated team of experienced nurses who are trained to manage a wide range of orthopaedic conditions and trauma injuries.
Our team of orthopaedic specialists are familiar with a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions. They include knee or hip replacements, repair of torn ligaments and joints, to minimally or non-invasive orthopaedic procedures. Every procedure at Gleneagles Hospital Penang is augmented by the use of up-to-date technology to ensure that we are able to treat every bone, ligament, joint and muscle in your body.
On top of that, we have two dedicated digital operating rooms (OR1™) to perform minimally invasive procedures.
For orthopaedic surgeons, working in a digital environment means increased efficiency and overall control of the operating room, enabling them to provide a high level of surgical patient care. The up-to-date sensors employed in these kinds of procedures serve to enhance a surgeon’s effectiveness while also minimizing the level of invasiveness for the patient.
For patients, one of the advantages of digitally integrated equipment is the improved flexibility it provides – the instrument or equipment can be taken to the patient rather than the other way around.
