THE SURGICAL APPROACH

How We Treat This

01

ACL Reconstruction

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using hamstring or patella tendon graft. Anatomical tunnel placement for optimal stability and function.

  • ✓ Anatomical graft placement
  • ✓ Accelerated rehabilitation protocol
  • ✓ Return to sport in 6–9 months
  • ✓ Hamstring or patella tendon graft options
02

Meniscus Repair & Meniscectomy

Torn meniscus addressed arthroscopically. Repair is preferred when possible — meniscectomy for irreparable tears. Rapid recovery.

  • ✓ Meniscus preservation priority
  • ✓ Tear pattern-specific technique
  • ✓ Same-day procedure for most cases
  • ✓ Return to activity in 4–6 weeks
03

Cartilage Restoration

Articular cartilage defects treated with microfracture, OATS, or ACI depending on defect size and patient profile.

  • ✓ Microfracture for small defects
  • ✓ OATS for focal cartilage loss
  • ✓ ACI for large defect reconstruction
  • ✓ Biological joint preservation
KEY ADVANTAGES

Why Choose This Approach

◆

Minimal Incisions

Two 5mm incisions replace traditional open surgery — dramatically less trauma and scarring.

◆

Day Surgery

Most arthroscopic procedures are performed as day cases with discharge on the same day.

◆

Rapid Recovery

Patients return to light activity within days and sport within 4–9 months depending on procedure.

◆

Diagnostic & Therapeutic

Arthroscopy simultaneously diagnoses and treats joint problems with unparalleled visual clarity.

PATIENT QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked

Is arthroscopy performed under general anaesthesia?+

Most arthroscopic procedures use general or spinal anaesthesia. You will be assessed pre-operatively to determine the best approach.

When can I return to sport after ACL reconstruction?+

Return to full competitive sport typically occurs at 9–12 months following structured physiotherapy and strength testing.

Can all knee problems be treated arthroscopically?+

Many soft tissue problems (ligaments, meniscus, cartilage) are ideal for arthroscopy. Severe arthritis typically requires joint replacement.

How long does arthroscopy surgery take?+

Most procedures take 45–90 minutes. You will typically be discharged the same day within a few hours of surgery.
