Knee & Joint Replacement Surgeon - About Knee Surgery
Tendons connect the knee bones to the leg muscles that move the knee joint. Ligaments join the knee bones and provide stability to the knee:
- The anterior cruciate ligament prevents the femur from sliding backward on the tibia (or the tibia sliding forward on the femur).
- The posterior cruciate ligament prevents the femur from sliding forward on the tibia (or the tibia from sliding backward on the femur).
- The medial and lateral collateral ligaments prevent the femur from sliding side to side.
Two C-shaped pieces of cartilage called the medial and lateral menisci act as shock absorbers between the femur and tibia.
Numerous bursae, fluid-filled sacs, help the knee move smoothly.

Know About Different Knee Surgeries
Knee arthroscopy is an excellent minimally invasive operation that allows thorough visualisation of the knee joint necessary for diagnosing and addressing various pathology both inside and outside the knee joint.
A tumour replaces healthy tissue with abnormal tissue and can weaken the bone causing it to break or fracture.Tumour growth or behaviour will vary according to the type of tumour and depending on whether the tumour is non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant).
Arthritis is often referred to and thought of as a single condition. But it is actually an umbrella term for more than 100 different conditions which affect the musculoskeletal system and joints where two or more bones meet.
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the major stabilising ligaments in the knee. It is a strong rope like structure which is located in the centre of the knee and runs from the femur to the tibia.
Knee Arthroplasty, otherwise known as Total Knee Replacement, is a surgical procedure which replaces an arthritic knee joint with an artificial joint. The aim is to take away pain, restore function and preserve anatomy.
The patella (kneecap) is a thick, circular-triangular bone which articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint. It is part of the extensor mechanism of the knee (quadriceps muscle).
The Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) is the primary medial stabiliser of the patella (knee-cap).The role of this rope like ligament is to prevent the knee from lateral dislocation (dislocating to the outer side of the knee) and subluxation (partial dislocation of the joint).
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the major stabilizing ligaments in the knee. It is a strong rope like structure which is located in the centre of the knee and runs from the femur to the tibia.
The tibial plateau is one of the most critical load-bearing areas in the body and is located on the upper extremity of the tibia. It is composed of two slightly concave condyles (the round prominences of a bone) separated by an intercondylar eminence and the sloping areas in front and behind it.
Knee Arthroplasty, otherwise known as Total Knee Replacement, is a surgical procedure that replaces an arthritic knee joint with an artificial joint. The aim is to take away pain, restore function and preserve anatomy for patients who suffer from osteoarthritis of the knee.
Osteotomy is a surgical operation where a bone is cut to shorten, lengthen or change its alignment. Knee osteotomy is commonly used to realign arthritic damage on one side of the knee. The goal is to shift the patient’s body weight off the damaged area and onto the other side of the knee where the cartilage is still healthy.
