Knee Arthroscopy

Newcastle doctors perform hundreds of Knee arthroscopic surgeries each week. We place a very small incision into the  knee joint and the orthopedic surgeon then inserts the arthroscope. This can help your surgeon fix the damaged tissue with small surgical instruments and you will walk out of the day surgery. Then we show you the physiotherapy exercises to start strengthening the muscles around the knee and joints. Therapeutic Exercise plays a very crucial role in the speedy recovery and has a positive impact on your health.

Meniscal Tears and Repair

The aim of the surgical procedure is to protect your meniscus intact knee meniscus by getting rid of the unstable area whilst repairing the other areas. Sometimes we sutur the knee cartilage and add stem cells, clot materials and growth factors to speed up the healing process.

Usually, the patient can return home the same day after undergoing a meniscus repair.
