Removes the damaged surfaces of the knee joint and replaces them with prosthetic components. One of the most reliably successful operations in orthopaedic surgery for patients with advanced knee arthritis.
Replaces only the damaged compartment of the knee, preserving healthy tissue and the cruciate ligaments. Suitable for patients with arthritis confined to a single compartment, with a faster recovery than total replacement.
A procedure in which the femur is cut and repositioned to correct abnormal leg alignment and redistribute load away from the damaged compartment. A joint preservation option for younger, active patients with single-compartment arthritis.
Keyhole surgery used to diagnose and treat a range of knee conditions including meniscal tears, cartilage lesions and loose bodies. Most patients return home the same day with a faster recovery than open surgery.
