Shoulder & Knee

Shoulder and knee treatments start with a comprehensive evaluation of your injury. Your doctor will take your medical history, examine the injured area and take an X-ray and/or MRI scan. This enables the accurate diagnosis required to formulate a treatment plan. Treatment encompasses physiotherapy, medications and discussion on the indication for surgery (when needed).

• Articular cartilage injury
• Meniscus tear
• Ligament sprain
• Torn ligament e.g. Anterior Cruciate Ligament / Posterior Cruciate Ligament / Multi-ligament
• Osteochondral fractures
• Osteoarthritis

• Plica syndrome
• Lateral patella maltracking
• Recurrent dislocation of the patella

• Arthroscopic lateral release
• Arthroscopic meniscus repair / menisectomy
• Arthroscopy and ligament reconstruction – Anterior Cruciate Ligament / Posterior Cruciate Ligament or multi-ligament
• Chondroplasty / Multiple subchondral drillings
• Removal of loose bodies

• Fracture fixation (e.g. patella fracture)
• Unicondyler (partial) knee replacement
• Total knee replacement
• Osteotomy to correct mechanical mal-alignment

• Frozen shoulder
• Impingement syndrome
• Rotator cuff tear
• Calcified tendonitis
• Recurrent dislocation
• SLAP lesion
• Osteoarthritis

• Arthroscopic sub-acromial decompression
• Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair
• Bankart repair for recurrent dislocation of the shoulder
• SLAP repair

• Fixation of fracture or discolation (e.g. AC joint dislocation, clavicle fracture)
• Major fractures around the shoulder

Arthroscopic surgery or ‘key hole surgery’ involves making tiny incisions into the joint through which the surgeon performs the necessary procedure. Advantages include minimal pain and faster recovery.

If the injury is complex, open surgery may be required.
