Services
ACL Reconstruction
Specialised surgical repair of anterior cruciate ligament injuries using arthroscopic techniques. Ideal for athletes and active individuals, this procedure restores knee stability and function. Our approach minimises recovery time while ensuring long-term joint health through advanced graft placement methods.
Knee Replacement Surgery
Robotic-assisted partial and total knee replacements for severe arthritis or joint damage. This precision-guided surgery improves implant alignment and patient outcomes. We focus on restoring mobility for active patients while maintaining natural knee biomechanics through computer navigation technology.
Sports Knee Injuries
Comprehensive management of sports-related knee injuries including meniscal tears, cartilage damage, and ligament sprains. Our treatment combines conservative therapies with minimally invasive surgery when required, tailored to athletes' specific recovery goals and activity levels.
Arthroscopic Surgery
Minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures for diagnosing and treating knee joint issues. This technique allows for faster recovery, smaller incisions, and reduced post-operative pain while addressing conditions like synovitis, loose bodies, and cartilage defects.
Paediatric Knee Treatments
Specialised care for children's knee conditions including growth plate injuries, congenital abnormalities, and sports trauma. Our approach considers developmental factors to ensure proper joint growth while providing age-appropriate surgical and non-surgical interventions.
