Knee Treatments
Non-Surgical Treatments
Many knee problems can be successfully treated with Physiotherapy
and other non-invasive treatments. Our CircleBath Physiotherapists
and Physio Asociates throughout the South West are able to offer
you excellent multidisciplinary care close to your home at a time
that suits you.
Soft Tissue Knee Surgery
If you have mechanical problems in your knee that cannot be solved
by soft tissue management alone, they may be cured by simple
keyhole surgery. A short stay of a few hours, a 20-minute procedure
and you are quickly back to normal.
Ligament Surgery
Sports injuries and falls can leave you with an unstable knee
needing ligament reconstruction. Our Surgeons have huge
experience treating everyone from recreational sportspeople to
elite athletes and Olympians. An overnight stay at CircleBath after
your surgery is usually required. See Anterior Cruciate
Ligament Reconstruction and Posterior
Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction for further information.
Total Knee Replacement
One of the most popular and most successful operations in modern
medicine. A Knee Replacement resurfaces your arthritic knee,
relives pain and allows you to return to normal life. An average
stay in hospital of four nights after the procedure is all that's
need. Learn more by reading Knee Replacement Surgery.
Part or Uni Compartment Knee Replacement
Sometimes you may only have Arthritis in one part of your knee
joint. If so, a full Knee Replacement is unecessary and a
part replacement can solve the problem more simply. This operation
is less invasive than a Total Knee Replacement and usually requires
a hospital stay of three nights. Recovery is simpler than other
procedures, usually quicker and you can return to full
functionality like kneeling more easily. See Knee Replacement
(Partial) Surgery for more information.
Osteotomy
Many young patients with Arthritis have been told they are too
young for a Knee Replacement. Our solution for you is to
realign your knee by offloading the damaged area. Following a two
to three night stay after your procedure you can return to normal
life. See Knee Realignment
(Osteotomy) Surgery for further information.
Ostismed Shape Matching Knee Technology
For patients who need a full knee replacement we are delighted to
be one of the first three hospitals in Europe and the first private
hospital in the UK, to use Stryker Shape Matching technology to
bespoke or custom fit your Knee Replacement to your own knee.
Please see our Knee
Unit brochure for more details.
We also offer Knee Arthroscopy, Knee Cap Joint
Replacement, Knee Cap (Patella) Stablisation Surgery and Knee
Cartilage Surgery.
