Types of treatment or procedure:

Amputations

An amputation is the removal of a body part. Removal could be the result of an accident (traumatic injury) or a planned amputation due to disease or a tumour.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a ligament in the middle of your knee that connects the front of shin bone thigh bones to the back of your thigh bone and helps to stabilise the knee. Tears (or ruptures) to this ligament can occur when making sharp twists and turns, causing the knee to ‘give way’ or collapse. An ACL repair stitches the damaged ligament back together.

Arthroplasty

Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to repair or replace a damaged or diseased 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.

Chondroplasty

Chondroplasty is a surgical procedure to remove damaged cartilage in a joint.

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.

Meniscectomy for meniscus tear

A torn meniscus may not heal on its own as there is a limited blood supply to that area.

Patella stabilisation

Patellofemoral joint replacement

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.

Steroid injections

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.
