Conditions & Treatment
Customised surgical interventions for knee conditions, including arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, and joint replacement. Regain an active lifestyle with our specialised care
Meniscal Tears
Meniscal Tear Evaluation and Treatment
The meniscii are specialised cartilage inside the knee joint. Twisting or bending images can tear this, causing pain and instability
Patella Instability
Patella Instability Evaluation and Treatment
Dislocation or subluxation of the knee cap can be debilitating. Treatment is often with physiotherapy, but in specific cases, surgery may be beneficial.
Knee Arthritis
Arthritis Treatment options
Knee arthritis is a common condition that occurs when the cartilage in the knee joint wears down over time.
ACL
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries and Treatment
ACL tears are a common knee injury amongst athletes who engage in pivoting sports like football, rugby, netball, basketball, or skiing.
Arthroscopy
Knee Arthroscopy
Keyhole surgery to allow the surgeon to visualise and treat a variety of knee conditions, using specialised equipment, through small incisions
UKR VS TKR
Partial vs. Total Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery is a common treatment for severe knee pain and disability caused by arthritis. For some patients, a partial knee replacement may be a better option than a total knee replacement.
HTO
High Tibial Osteotomy
High tibial osteotomy is a surgical procedure used to treat knee pain and arthritis caused by a malalignment of the leg bones.
