Treatments
Use the options below to explore potential treatments for your medical needs.
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.
Image guided joint injections
If your swollen or painful joints, ligaments or tendons do not respond to conservative treatments your consultant may recommend image guided joint injections.
Knee arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy (also called keyhole knee surgery) allows your surgeon to see inside your knee joint using a camera inserted through small cuts in the skin.
Meniscectomy for meniscus tear
A torn meniscus may not heal on its own as there is a limited blood supply to that area.
