Treatments
Use the options below to explore potential treatments for your medical needs.
Amputations
An amputation is the removal of a body part. Removal could be the result of an accident (traumatic injury) or a planned amputation due to disease or a tumour.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a ligament in the middle of your knee that connects the front of your shin bone to the back of your thigh bone and helps to stabilise the knee . Tears (or ruptures) to this ligament can occur when making sharp twists and turns, causing the knee to ‘give way’ or collapse. This is commonly as a result of an injury whilst skiing, or a sporting injury. An ACL reconstruction replaces the ligament with a piece of suitable tissue from elsewhere in your body (an autograft) or from a donor (allograft).
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a ligament in the middle of your knee that connects the front of shin bone thigh bones to the back of your thigh bone and helps to stabilise the knee. Tears (or ruptures) to this ligament can occur when making sharp twists and turns, causing the knee to ‘give way’ or collapse. An ACL repair stitches the damaged ligament back together.
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT)
Shockwave therapy is a non-surgical treatment, and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon.
Image guided joint injections
If your swollen or painful joints, ligaments or tendons do not respond to conservative treatments your consultant may recommend image guided joint injections.
Knee arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy, also called keyhole knee surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure that allows your surgeon to see inside your knee joint using a small camera inserted through small cuts in the skin.
Knee replacement (Total knee replacement)
Knee replacement, or total knee replacement, is a surgical procedure to remove the damaged knee joint and replace it with an artificial joint.
Meniscectomy for meniscus tear
A torn meniscus may not heal on its own as there is a limited blood supply to that area.
Partial knee replacement
Partial knee replacement, also known as unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR), is a surgical procedure in which only the damaged part of the knee joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint.
Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment (PRP)
PRP treatment uses a patient's own blood to promote the healing of injured tendons, joints, muscles and ligaments.
Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment (PRP)
PRP treatment uses a patient's own blood to promote the healing of injured tendons, joints, muscles and ligaments.
Revision knee replacement
Revision knee replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a previous knee replacement that has failed or worn out, with a new artificial joint.
