The knee has a complex structure involving 4 bones and an extensive network of ligaments and muscles.
The knee joint is divided into three compartments or sections, namely the:
Injuries or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis can affect one, two or all three of these compartments.
this connects your thigh bone (femur) to your shin bone (tibia)
this connects your femur to your kneecap (patella)
these enable your knee to move backwards and forwards
these brace and control the sideways motion of your knee
these sit on the inside and outside of your knee to absorb shock and provide stability
to lubricate the joint and protect its surfaces.
A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat common knee problems.
Minimally invasive surgery to replace a torn ACL and reconstruct it with a graft (from you or a donor)
Optimising knee alignment with surgical skill, robotics and computer-aided navigation.
Surgery to resurface the ends of your femur and tibia when the cartilage in all compartments has been destroyed by arthritis.
A surgical option when the damage caused by arthritis is limited to one or two compartments of the knee.
Minimally invasive reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament to improve knee stability.
A torn meniscus used to be inoperable but modern techniques and specific surgical training mean it can now be repaired.
Replacing a damaged meniscus with donor tissue to slow down degeneration and improve function.
Teatment for abnormal or injured knees that are otherwise healthy to prevent osteoarthritis developing.
Shifting the leg bones to alter knee alignment, usually for localised arthritis of the knee joint in younger, active patients who want to delay knee replacement.
