Quantum stands for trustworthiness, dependability and precision.
Quantum Orthopaedics is a sports orthopaedic clinic in Singapore, conveniently located at Camden Medical and Mount Alvernia Hospital. The clinic’s focus spans knee surgery (ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, cartilage restoration), shoulder surgery (rotator cuff repair, shoulder stabilisation) and sports injury management across all levels, from recreational athletes to Singapore national team competitors. We bring together a unique team of a specialist orthopaedic surgeon, athletic trainers, physicians and physical therapists to collaboratively provide the best possible medical care for athletic injuries and illnesses. As we resume our sports activities during this pandemic, injuries can easily arise from gym, tennis, HIIT, golf, dance and more.
Due to the physically demanding nature of sports, sports injuries are unfortunately common.
These injuries can typically be classified into acute and chronic injuries: acute injuries occur suddenly due to falls or direct impact; while chronic injuries develop gradually from the overuse of certain body parts. In such cases, consulting a sports medicine doctor or sports surgeon at a sports surgery clinic in Singapore may provide the best possible outcome in terms of treatment and recovery.
Leading our sports orthopaedic clinic is orthopaedic surgeon Dr James Tan, who has more than 15 years’ experience in managing sports injuries and previously took care of Singapore national athletes and footballers.
An avid sportsperson himself, Dr James understands what the patients go through and aims to help them return to the activities they enjoy through evidence-based treatment and personalised care.
