Knee Treatments
Non-Surgical Treatments
Many knee problems can be successfully treated with Physiotherapy
and other non-invasive treatments. Our Physiotherapists and Physio
Asociates 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 a simple
20-minute keyhole surgery followed by a short stay of a few
hours.
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 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 and
relives pain. 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 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. You will be
required to stay for two to three night stay after your procedure.
See Knee Realignment
(Osteotomy) Surgery for further information.

be one of the first hospitals in Europe and the first private
