Knee Treatments
Mr Nick Smith offers a range of knee treatments and surgical proceedures.
-
ACL reconstruction
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are relatively common sports injuries and usually occur when pivoting on a planted knee during a match.
-
Meniscal surgery
The meniscus is a cushion in the knee. It helps to spread out the forces through the knee when doing activities.
-
Multi-ligament knee surgery
Multi-ligament knee injuries are usually caused by significant traumatic injuries.
-
Knee replacement
Partial knee replacement is suitable in advanced arthritis of a single part of the knee joint.
-
Patellofemoral instability
Kneecap dislocations occur when the kneecap is forced out of the groove, usually to the outside of the knee.
