Knee Conditions

Knee pain can have a significant impact on your mobility, independence, and quality of life. Whether your symptoms have developed gradually through wear and tear or resulted from a sporting injury or accident, an accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective treatment.

Understanding knee pain

As a specialist knee surgeon in Wirral, Cheshire, I diagnose and treat a wide range of knee conditions using both non-surgical and surgical techniques. Following a thorough consultation, clinical examination and any necessary imaging, I will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your diagnosis, lifestyle, and recovery goals.

The knee is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body, supporting your weight while allowing you to walk, run, climb stairs, and participate in sport. Because the knee is subjected to considerable forces every day, it is particularly vulnerable to injury and age-related wear and tear.

Early diagnosis can help prevent further damage and ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment to restore function and relieve discomfort.

If knee pain or injury is affecting your mobility or quality of life, please get in touch to arrange a consultation and explore the most appropriate treatment to help you move comfortably and confidently again.

Knee osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis affecting the knee and occurs when the protective cartilage gradually wears away. This can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Treatment may include physiotherapy, medication, injections, or knee replacement surgery depending on the severity of your symptoms.

Knee rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation within the knee joint, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. Early diagnosis and treatment can help control inflammation, protect the joint, and improve mobility. Surgical treatment may be considered if significant joint damage develops.

Meniscal tears

The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that cushions and stabilises the knee. A tear can occur through injury or gradual wear and tear, causing pain, swelling, locking, and reduced movement. Treatment ranges from physiotherapy to minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery depending on the type and severity of the tear.

Knee ligament injuries

The ligaments of the knee provide stability during movement. Injuries can range from mild sprains to complete tears and are commonly caused by twisting injuries, sudden changes of direction, or direct impact. Treatment depends on the ligament involved and may include rehabilitation or surgical reconstruction.

Personalised treatment for knee conditions

Every knee condition is different, which is why treatment should always be tailored to your individual diagnosis, symptoms and lifestyle.
