Your guide to
The largest joint in the human body, the knee is where three bones come together – the thigh bone (femur), the shin bone (tibia) and the kneecap (patella). Add to these your knee ligaments and cartilage and it’s easy to understand why you need a specialist to accurately diagnose the result of a knee injury or the cause of knee pain. Whatever your condition, we can offer you treatment options to get you back to everyday activities, and your sport and exercise routines.
Orthopaedic consultants
You’ll find our knee consultants located right across our leading London hospitals: London Bridge Hospital, The Wellington Hospital in north London, The Princess Grace Hospital in central London, and The Lister Hospital in Chelsea. Our children’s orthopaedic consultants are based at The Portland Hospital for Children, also in London, just south of Regent’s Park. And our specialist knee and orthopaedic network extends to just south of Manchester, at The Wilmslow Hospital in Cheshire, and the West Midlands, at The Harborne Hospital.
A full or partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can stop you from doing some of your favourite sports, exercise or hobbies. HCA UK’s knee specialists can accurately diagnose a torn or ruptured ACL and suggest the best way to manage your injury.
A torn meniscus, or locked knee, is a common sports or exercise injury caused by forceful twisting. It can result in a swollen and painful knee joint.
STERIOD INJECTIONS INTO THE JOINTS
A corticosteroid injection, guided by ultrasound, can be an effective way to treat joint pain caused by a sports injury
A knee arthroscopy, also referred to as knee keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure used to evaluate and treat conditions like cartilage damage and arthritis.
Knee replacement surgery is an operation to replace part or the whole of the knee joint, otherwise known as knee arthroplasty. This treatment can help to relieve chronic pain in your knee joint and improve your range of movement.
Self-funding
For patients who are self-funding their partial or total knee replacement surgery, we offer fixed price packages. To help with budgeting and give you peace of mind before treatment, your consultant will advise you on whether you qualify for one or more of these options.
