Knee Rehabilitation and Surgical Options
Cartilage Surgery
Cartilage surgery aims to restore the functioning of the knee joint by attempting repair, regenerating or replacing damaged cartilage tissue to relieve pain and improve mobility.
ACL Injury
ACL surgery restores stability and function to the knee,
often by implanting a graft to reconstruct the injured
ligament. With appropriate rehabilitation following surgery, patients may recover similar function, strength, and range
of motion to their uninjured knee.
Meniscus Surgery
Depending on the meniscus tear sustained, treatment can range from medication and physical therapy, to repair surgery or partial meniscectomy. The goal is to relieve pain and restore knee function while minimising arthritis risks.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a knee specialist?
You should consult a knee specialist if you experience persistent knee pain, swelling, instability, or difficulty walking that does not improve with rest or medication.
What are the common knee conditions treated?
Knee specialists treat conditions such as osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries (ACL, MCL), patellar dislocations, and cartilage damage.
What non-surgical treatments are available for knee pain?
Treatments include physiotherapy, pain management (medications or injections), knee braces, and lifestyle modifications to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
When is knee surgery necessary?
Surgery is recommended for severe ligament tears, meniscus injuries, advanced arthritis, or when non-surgical treatments fail to relieve symptoms.
What is the recovery time after knee surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure. Minor arthroscopic surgeries take a few weeks, while total knee replacements may require several months of rehabilitation.
