Treatment of Knee Arthritis
Knee arthritis can be a painful and debilitating condition. Mr Sethi uses a wide range of techniques to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
​
Where possible, Mr Sethi uses "Joint Preservation" surgical techniques to delay the need for joint replacement surgery as long as possible.
​
Osteotomy operations around the knee can provide excellent pain relief for more active patients.
​
In correctly selected patient, Knee Replacement surgery can give excellent results.
Patella (Kneecap) Instability
The kneecap can be the cause of many symptoms in the knee, the majority of which can be treated without surgery.
However, when the kneecap is unstable or dislocates surgery may be helpful.
​
In general, when the kneecap dislocates more that once or continues to feel unstable Mr Sethi would discuss potential surgical treatment to prevent pain, instability and future degeneration in the joint.
Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Injuries
The most common knee ligament injury is an injury to the MCL on the medial (inside) aspect of the knee.
The vast majority of MCL injuries heal without surgery and simple bracing.
​
It is however important to ensure that there are not other associated injuries of the knee.
