These tools prepare you. They do not diagnose you.
No online tool can replace clinical examination and imaging. These decision aids exist to help you organise your thoughts, understand the full range of options including non-surgical ones, and identify the questions worth asking. Every option presented, conservative or surgical, is a legitimate choice depending on your circumstances. The final decision is always made together with your surgeon, based on your specific case.
Available tools
Knee Replacement Decision Aid
Is it time to consider knee replacement, or are there conservative options you have not fully explored? Work through your symptoms, their impact on your life, and what matters most to you. Ends with a personalised summary you can bring to your consultation.
ACL Tear: Surgery or Structured Rehab?
Not every ACL tear needs reconstruction. This tool will help you weigh your age, activity goals, instability symptoms, and timeline to understand which path fits your situation.
Hip Replacement Readiness Check
A structured way to assess whether your hip symptoms, function, and imaging findings point toward surgery now, or whether conservative management still has room to work.
How these tools work
- Each tool starts with a safety check to rule out red-flag symptoms that need urgent attention rather than a decision aid.
- You answer structured questions about your symptoms, their impact on your daily life, and your personal priorities.
- The tool presents your options side by side, conservative and surgical, with honest information about each.
- You receive a summary of your answers to bring to your consultation, so the discussion starts from a clear picture of your situation.
