ACL RECONSTRUCTION

The anterior cruciate ligament can be ruptured during twisting sports such as football, netball and rugby. As an important stabiliser of the knee it is often advised to reconstruct the ligament, particularly if patients are keen to return to their sport. This procedure involves harvesting hamstring tendons to fashion into a new ligament. Tunnels are then drilled through the knee using telescopic techniques. The hamstring graft is then passed through the bone tunnels and fixed securely. Physiotherapy is important following surgery to regain knee strength and range of motion. The procedure is usually performed as a day case with discharge home on the same day.

KNEE ARTHROSCOPY

In this procedure a telescope is placed in the knee allowing excellent visualisation of internal structures. Both articular cartilage and meniscal (shock absorber) procedures can be performed. Recovery is usually very quick with minimal tissue damage.

Meniscal Surgery

The knee shock absorbers can be torn by twisting injuries, leading to swelling, pain, clicking and instability. Meniscal tears do not in general heal by themselves. In selected patients with suitable tears the shock absorbers can be repaired. If repair is not possible the menisci are trimmed leaving as much healthy tissue behind as possible.

Cartilage Surgery

If the actual cartilage lining the joint is damaged this will be probed thoroughly and any loose flaps smoothed carefully. If there are full thickness cartilage defects then a cartilage restoring procedure such as micro-fracture may be considered.

TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

If there is widespread cartilage damage in the knee, accompanied by pain and functional limitations, total knee arthroplasty surgery may be the best option. Mr Punwar only uses modern implants with a proven track record.

Although this is major surgery every effort is taken to minimise tissue damage and promote rapid recovery. Mr Punwar will keep a close eye on your progress and make sure the end result matches your expectations.

PARTIAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

In this minimally invasive procedure, only the affected compartment of the knee is replaced. This is usually the medial (inner) compartment of the knee. Advantages of this procedure are reduced muscle dissection, quicker recovery. The knee feels more natural as all the internal ligaments are retained.

TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT

One of the most successful surgical procedures every invented, total hip replacements can transform quality of life and reliably reduce pain.

When the cartilage surfaces of the hip joint are completely worn replacing them with a new ball and socket can help regain movement. This can help with everyday activities such as putting on shoes and getting into the bath. Mr Punwar usually uses the cemented Exeter stem which has excellent long-term results together with an uncemented metal socket.
