Common Knee Conditions We Treat

Explore the sections below for a brief overview of the core knee conditions managed at our Adelaide clinic. Click through to each dedicated page to learn more about specific symptoms, diagnostic steps, and recovery options.

Non-Operative Care

Evidence-based conservative treatments focus on targeted physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and pain management to relieve symptoms without surgery.

Knee Arthroscopy

A minimally invasive keyhole procedure is used to visually inspect the joint and treat specific mechanical issues like loose bodies or localised cartilage tears.

Knee Replacement

Worn joint surfaces are precisely resurfaced with durable medical components to restore global alignment and eliminate severe, chronic arthritis pain.

Meniscal Repair

Stitching a torn meniscus back together utilises advanced joint-preserving techniques to save your knee’s natural shock absorbers.

ACL Reconstruction

Replacing a torn anterior cruciate ligament with a robust tissue graft restores structural stability and rotational confidence to the knee joint.

OATS / Mosaicplasty

Isolated cartilage defects are repaired by transferring healthy cartilage and bone plugs from a non-weight-bearing donor area into the damaged site.

Chondroplasty & Microfracture

These keyhole techniques either smooth down frayed cartilage or stimulate the bone marrow to grow a new protective layer over exposed bone surfaces.

MPFL Reconstruction

Rebuilding the primary stabilising ligament on the inner side of the knee corrects patellar tracking issues and prevents recurrent kneecap dislocations.

Our Approach to Your Recovery

We believe that successful musculoskeletal care requires a collaborative approach between the patient, the general practitioner, and the specialist. To assist in your treatment journey, we utilise modern symptom-tracking frameworks that capture your subjective experience of pain and physical function. This approach ensures your care plan always aligns with your real-world lifestyle demands.
