ACL Reconstruction
ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction is a surgical procedure to treat an ACL injury. It is performed arthroscopically (key hole surgery) and helps restore knee stability.
Meniscal Surgery
Surgery to treat a torn or damaged meniscus. It is performed through small incisions which allow a camera to be inserted into the knee.
Total Knee Replacement
A total knee replacement is an excellent surgical option to treat patients with disabling arthritis in the knee. The common symptoms of arthritis iinclude pain, swelling and stiffness.
Partial Knee Replacement
Unicompartmental knee replacement is a minimally invasive surgery in which only the damaged compartment of the knee is replaced with an implant. It is also called a partial knee replacement.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is key hole surgery performed through tiny incisions. A camera is inserted into the knee joint which provides the surgeon a clear view of the inside of the joint; any pathology can then be diagnosed and treated. This is mostly done as a day case procedure, allowing you to go home on the day of surgery itself.
MCL Reconstruction
Surgical procedure to treat a damaged Medical collateral ligament. Commonly a tendon graft is used to reconstruct the damaged ligament.
Intraarticluar Knee Injection
An intra-articular knee injection involves injecting a drug (such as steroid / hyaluronic acid) directly into the knee joint with the objective of relieving pain and inflammation in the knee joint.
High Tibial Osteotomy
High tibial osteotomy is a surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure on the damaged site of an arthritic knee joint. It is usually performed in arthritic conditions affecting only one side of your knee and the aim is to take pressure off the damaged area and shift it to the other side of your knee with healthy cartilage.
Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction
The medial patellofemoral ligament is a band of tissue that extends from the femoral medial epicondyle (inside of the thigh bone) to the superior aspect of the patella (knee cap). It helps stabilizes the patella and prevents the knee cap from dislocating.
