Orthopaedic Knee Surgery

Orthopaedic Knee Surgery involves various procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the knee joint. Common surgeries include arthroscopy, meniscus repair, ligament reconstruction (such as ACL reconstruction), and knee replacement (total or partial).
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique utilizing a small camera to visualize and treat knee joint issues, often addressing meniscal tears or cartilage damage. Meniscus repair involves repairing or removing damaged cartilage. Ligament reconstruction is performed to restore stability after ligament injuries, especially the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Total or partial knee replacement is a major orthopaedic knee surgery, involving the removal of damaged joint surfaces and replacing them with artificial implants. This is often recommended for severe arthritis or joint degeneration. Rehabilitation and physical therapy play crucial roles in postoperative care to optimize recovery and restore knee function. Advances in surgical techniques, implant materials, and rehabilitation protocols continue to enhance outcomes in orthopaedic knee surgery, offering effective solutions for various knee-related conditions.
