Orthopaedic Surgery

CGMH provides orthopaedic surgical care for both inpatients and outpatients, performed by Dr. Henry Koo, Dr. Olivia Cheng and Dr. Darryl Collings.

Orthopaedic services are a vital part of CGMH’s Emergency Department and regional on-call support for orthopaedic trauma, allowing patients to receive care closer to home.

CGMH also performs hip and knee replacements through the Provincial and Local Health Integration Network's regional joint replacement program. Your family doctor can refer you to the joint replacement clinic in our Ambulatory Care Centre, where our team will assess you and schedule your surgery.

Many Preanesthetic Clinic Appointments are held virtually. Important information to prepare you for your anesthetic and surgery can be found below. Please print out or download and save these forms, and review them in advance of your Preanesthetic Clinic Appointment, which will be scheduled 2-4 weeks prior to your surgery.
