Arthroplasty
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to repair or replace a damaged or diseased joint.
Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation
ACI (autologous chondrocyte implantation) and MACI (matrix-induced chondrocyte implantation) are advanced tissue-engineered technologies used to repair damaged articulating surfaces, mainly in the knee joint.
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.
Chondroplasty
Chondroplasty is a surgical procedure to remove damaged cartilage in a joint.
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.
Joint resurfacing
Joint surfaces damaged by wear and tear or arthritis may be able to be resurfaced.
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.
Knee surgery (ACL repair)
The anterior cruciate ligament is replaced with a piece of suitable tissue from elsewhere in the body.
Manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA)
Under general anaesthetic your surgeon will move your stiff joint to a full range of motion, stretching the surrounding muscles and freeing the joint capsule.
Matrix-induced chondrocyte implantation (MACI)
Matrix-induced chondrocyte implantation is used to repair damaged articulating surfaces, mainly in the knee joint.
Meniscectomy for meniscus tear
A torn meniscus may not heal on its own as there is a limited blood supply to that area.
nSTRIDE® Autologous Protein Solution (APS)
nSTRIDE® APS is an autologous (from your own body) protein solution treatment that is designed to treat the joint pain associated with knee osteoarthritis.
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.
Tibial osteotomy
An osteotomy is a procedure usually performed to correct damage caused by osteoarthritis or a deformity. A tibial osteotomy is performed when only one side of your knee shows damage.
