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.
Bone Graft
Surgeons can perform a bone graft to repair or rebuild damaged bone in many areas of your body.
Cartilage reconstruction
Cartilage is the thin tissue that covers bone surfaces providing smooth, friction free movement.
Cartilage resurfacing
If conservative treatments for damaged cartilage are not successful your consultant may recommend cartilage resurfacing.
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) allows your surgeon to see inside your knee joint using a camera inserted through small cuts in the skin.
Knee replacement
This is a procedure to remove your damaged knee joint and replace it with an artificial joint.
Knee replacement revision
As patients live longer and more active lives older knee implants may need replacing.
Meniscectomy for meniscus tear
A torn meniscus may not heal on its own as there is a limited blood supply to that area.
Patella stabilisation
During patela stabilisation either torn ligaments are repaired or a tendon may be repositioned.
PCL reconstruction
Your posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and your anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are two large ligaments that control front to back movement in your knee. A sports injury or a fall directly on the front of your knee can tear your PCL.
Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment (PRP)
PRP treatment uses a patient's own blood to promote the healing of injured tendons, joints, muscles and ligaments.
