A twisting injury can tear the ACL ligament or the meniscus cartilage, leaving the knee unstable or locking. Keyhole surgery repairs the damage through small cuts, so you can get back to walking, work and sport.
The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) keeps the knee steady when you turn and pivot. The meniscus is a C-shaped cushion of cartilage between the thigh and shin bones.
Both are often injured in football, cricket, falls and road accidents. A torn ACL makes the knee give way, and a torn meniscus can cause pain, swelling and locking. An MRI usually confirms the diagnosis.
A knee that keeps giving way can damage the meniscus and cartilage over time, so it is worth getting checked.
For active people and unstable knees.
Depends on the type of tear.
Dr. Faheem checks how stable your knee is.
An MRI usually confirms the tear.
The repair is done through small cuts.
You walk from day 1 with support.
Physiotherapy is a big part of getting back to sport.
Answers to the questions we hear most about ACL and meniscus surgery.
No. Less active people and those with small tears may do well with physiotherapy. Surgery is advised when the knee keeps giving way or locking.
The cuts are small, so there is less pain, and most patients go home within a day or two.
The knee can keep giving way, and over time this can damage the meniscus and cartilage.
Desk work is usually possible after about 2 weeks. Heavy manual work usually waits until after 3 months.
