Fractures around the knee unless fixed perfectly increase the chance of arthritis significantly. This requires special expertise and access to latest techniques. I can fix complex tibial plateau fractures/ distal femoral or patellar fractures expertly to give you an almost normal functioning knee joint.

Patients of all ages can experience trauma and fractures. These serious injuries can occur during auto accidents, falls, and countless other scenarios. Unfortunately, they can have a long-term impact on patients’ functionality and even affect their quality of life.

One of my specialties is arthroscopy assisted percutaneous fixation of knee fractures. Complex comminuted (multiple fragments due to fracture) require anatomical fixation and stabilisation with 2 or more specific titanium plates to

Fractures are usually diagnosed using X-rays. Computed tomography (CT) is helpful in assessing the 3 dimensional anatomy of the fracture fragments, while Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful in assessment of status of the cartilage and soft tissues around the knee.

Most patients are now a days immobilised with a knee brace and rarely with a plaster cast post-surgery. You will need physiotherapy to improve knee range of motion and strength after surgery to get good function. Generally, most patients are back to normalcy in 3-6 months after a complex knee injury.
