ACL Reconstruction
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the main stabilising ligaments in the knee. It prevents the shin bone from moving forwards and controls rotation.
Procedures
-
-
Knee Replacement
A knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with artificial components made of metal and plastic.
-
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.

Osteotomy
A knee osteotomy is a surgical procedure used to realign the bones around the knee to improve joint function and reduce pain.

Patellofemoral Instability
Patellofemoral instability refers to a condition where the kneecap (patella) does not move normally within its groove at the front of the knee.
-
Degenerative Meniscal Tears
The meniscus is a cushion in the knee that helps transmit load evenly through the joint.

Meniscal Repair
The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion and helps transmit load evenly across the joint.
-
Meniscal Root Repair
The meniscal roots are the points where the meniscus attaches to the bone (tibia). These attachments are critical for allowing the meniscus to function properly.
-
Meniscal Transplantation
A meniscal transplant involves replacing a missing or severely damaged meniscus with a donor (allograft) meniscus.
