Treatments
Use the options below to explore potential treatments for your medical needs.
Types of treatment or procedure:
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.
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.
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
During patela stabilisation either torn ligaments are repaired or a tendon may be repositioned.
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.
