• Knee Arthroscopy: this minimally invasive procedure uses a small camera to examine and treat knee joint problems. Arthroscopy is often used to treat issues like cartilage damage, meniscal tears, and joint inflammation.
• Total Knee Replacement: total knee replacement involves removing the damaged knee joint and replacing it with a prosthetic joint. This procedure can significantly improve mobility and reduce pain, allowing patients with severe knee arthritis or joint degeneration to return to normal activities.
• Partial Knee Replacement (Unicompartmental Knee Replacement): partial knee replacement may be an option for patients with isolated knee arthritis affecting only one part of the joint. This procedure involves replacing only the damaged compartment of the knee, preserving healthy bone and tissue.
• Revision Knee Replacement: if a previous knee replacement has failed or worn out, a revision knee replacement may be necessary. Our surgeons are experts in performing complex revision surgeries, ensuring improved function and mobility.
• ACL Reconstruction: the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a key stabiliser in the knee joint, with tears leading to significant instability. ACL reconstruction surgery replaces the damaged ligament with a graft, allowing patients to regain knee stability and function .
• Surgery for Meniscal Tears: the meniscus is cartilage that helps cushion the knee joint. Tears in the meniscus can cause pain, swelling and limited movement. Surgeries such as meniscectomy or meniscus repair treat these injuries and restore knee function.
• Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery: we offer minimally invasive techniques for knee conditions which result in smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and reduced post-operative pain.
• Robotic Knee Surgery: robotic-assisted knee surgery allows our surgeons to perform knee replacements with greater precision and accuracy. This technology ensures the prosthetic is positioned optimally, leading to improved function and better alignment.

Our multidisciplinary team of orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists, clinicians and nursing staff work together to deliver the best possible care from diagnosis through to post-surgery rehabilitation. We prioritise minimising pain, restoring function and improving mobility so you can return to your daily activities as soon as possible with treatment plans tailored to your needs.
