Knee
MPFL reconstruction is surgery in which a new medial patellofemoral ligament is created to stabilise the knee and help protect the joint from additional damage in cases of serious and recurring dislocation of the kneecap. It offers an excellent treatment option for people who have experienced more than one dislocation.
Knee arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows doctors to view the knee joint without making a large incision (cut) through the skin and other soft tissues. Arthroscopy is used to diagnose and treat a wide range of knee problems.
The procedure involves removing or adding a wedge of bone to your shinbone (tibia) or thighbone (femur) to help shift your body weight off the damaged portion of your knee joint. Knee osteotomy is most commonly performed on people who are younger than 60 who are active.
A partial knee replacement is surgery to replace only one part of a damaged knee. It can replace either the inside (medial) part, the outside (lateral) part, or the kneecap part of the knee. Surgery to replace the whole knee joint is called total knee replacement.
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is a surgical procedure which involves reconstructing the torn PCL ligament using a tissue graft which is taken from another part of our body or a deceased donor for treating PCL injuries that cause pain and swelling in the knee joint.
Posterolateral corner reconstruction is performed using tissue grafts to replace the injured ligaments. Tissue autografts from the patient (hamstring and quadriceps tendon) or allografts from donors (Achilles tendon, patellar tendon, hamstring tendons) can be used for this reconstruction
Reconstruction surgery for an MCL tear is necessary for elite athletes who have multiple knee ligament issues, when the ligament has been completely torn, or when the ligament is not functioning correctly. During MCL surgery, your surgeon will reattach or reconstruct the damaged tendon
