KNEE
ARTHROSCOPY

An arthroscopy is a minor, surgical procedure that requires only 2-3 small cuts, and the insertion of a small camera that allows us to see inside the joints of the knee, and identify possible conditions. You’ll be asleep throughout the procedure.

KNEE JOINT
REPLACEMENT

This involves removing only the damaged surfaces of your knee (the end of your thigh bone, the femur, and the top of your shin bone, the tibia) and replacing them with metal and plastic pieces, which fit together to mimic the natural movement of the knee.

TOTAL HIP JOINT
REPLACEMENT

A hip joint replacement involves removing the damaged bone, replacing the head of the femur and re-lining the hip socket. The type of replacement or components used will depend on the degree of damage to the joint surface.

ACL
SURGERY

This surgical procedure for hip joints will help relieve pain and restore function. Reconstruction of an ACL involves replacing the torn ligament usually with part of the hamstring, from behind the knee or sometimes part of the patellar tendon or quadriceps tendon.
