The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) is one of the top centres in the world for the diagnosis and treatment of many complex orthopaedic conditions, including spinal cord injuries, bone cancer, scoliosis, and acute hip and knee problems.

The hospital treats military personnel, provides amputees with custom-made prostheses, and helps rebuild the lives of patients through extensive rehabilitation programmes. It also specialises in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. More than 30% of the hospital’s work is for children, who undergo surgical procedures ranging from spinal correction to the lifesaving removal of cancerous tumours. As a national and international centre of excellence, the RNOH treats over 150,000 patients annually, from all over the world.
