Our knee surgery services include full knee replacement, partial knee replacement and revision knee surgery; high tibial osteotomy, knee arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction and knee injection.

We also run a pre-operative education session for people awaiting a knee replacement. ‘Joint School is run weekly by the therapists to help you prepare and plan for your operation.
