Mr Dodd specialises in surgery of the hip and knee. He treats conditions that cause hip and knee pain ranging from acute sporting or traumatic injuries that has resulted in ligament or cartilage damage through the early aches and pains of arthritis until the need for joint replacement.
This includes complex hip and knee keyhole surgery. Treating hip impingement conditions (FAI), knee ligament reconstruction (ACL); meniscal cartilage repair or removal; and cartilage defect surgery or preservation in both the hip and knee. These are mostly done as day case procedures.
He performs joint replacements with tried and tested implants. The choice of surgery and implants he uses includes partial joint replacement and bone preservation implants when suitable but most importantly choosing the right operation for each patient.
Mr Dodd uses a select group of physiotherapists that cover the South Wales area and that are experienced in rehabilitating the conditions that we commonly treat. Appointments and clinics can be booked directly with physiotherapists that are local to you, with teams at both the Nuffield Vale and Sancta Maria hospitals as well as private physio in Swansea and Llanelli.
