All Knee Conditions

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition where the smooth cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones in the knee gradually wears away.

Knee ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones and help stabilise the knee joint. Injuries occur when these ligaments are stretched or torn, often due to sports, sudden twisting, or direct impact.

A meniscal tear happens when this cartilage in the knee joint is damaged, usually due to twisting the knee while bearing weight.

Cartilage defects are areas where the smooth articular cartilage covering the ends of the bones in the knee is damaged.

Patellofemoral instability occurs when the kneecap (patella) does not stay properly aligned in its groove at the front of the thighbone (femur). This can cause the kneecap to slip partially (subluxation) or completely dislocate.
