Understanding treatment for knee problems
The knee joins the femur, tibia and patella, cushioned by menisci and stabilised by four key ligaments — ACL, PCL, MCL and LCL.
Damage to any of these structures — through arthritis, injury or wear — causes pain, swelling and instability. Accurate diagnosis of the affected component is critical to choose between non-surgical care, arthroscopy or robotic joint replacement.
