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.
