Knee replacement treatments

Knee replacement may involve part of the joint, the whole knee, both knees, or revision of a previous replacement.

The right operation depends on where the damage is, how much of the knee is affected and your individual needs.

Total knee replacement

Replaces the damaged surfaces of the knee when arthritis affects enough of the joint that joint-preserving treatment is no longer suitable.

Sports-knee treatments

Some knee problems are caused by ligament or meniscus injuries rather than arthritis.

These operations aim to address a specific injury while preserving as much of the natural knee as possible.

ACL reconstruction

Uses graft tissue to reconstruct a torn ACL when the knee remains too unstable for the activities a patient needs to return to.

Knee arthroscopy

Keyhole surgery used to look inside the knee and treat selected problems such as certain meniscus tears or loose fragments.

Hip replacement treatments

Hip replacement may be considered when arthritis, avascular necrosis or another hip problem causes enough pain and loss of function that replacing the joint becomes a reasonable option.

Other hip replacement treatments

  • Direct anterior hip replacement
