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.
Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation
ACI (autologous chondrocyte implantation) and MACI (matrix-induced chondrocyte implantation) are advanced tissue-engineered technologies used to repair damaged articulating surfaces, mainly in the knee joint.
Cartilage reconstruction
Cartilage is the thin tissue that covers bone surfaces providing smooth, friction free movement.
Cartilage resurfacing
If conservative treatments for damaged cartilage are not successful your consultant may recommend cartilage resurfacing.
Chondroplasty
Chondroplasty is a surgical procedure to remove damaged cartilage in a joint.
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.
Joint resurfacing
Joint surfaces damaged by wear and tear or arthritis may be able to be resurfaced.

Knee replacement revision
As patients live longer and more active lives older knee implants may need replacing.
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.
Matrix-induced chondrocyte implantation (MACI)
Matrix-induced chondrocyte implantation is used to repair damaged articulating surfaces, mainly in the knee joint.
Meniscectomy for meniscus tear
A torn meniscus may not heal on its own as there is a limited blood supply to that area.
nSTRIDE® Autologous Protein Solution (APS)
nSTRIDE® APS is an autologous (from your own body) protein solution treatment that is designed to treat the joint pain associated with knee osteoarthritis.
Patella stabilisation
During patela stabilisation either torn ligaments are repaired or a tendon may be repositioned.
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.
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.
