Total knee Arthroplasty
TKA/ knee replacement
With 1 in 5 patients not satisfied with their knee replacement, Dr Dan believes the key to a successful knee replacement is to ensure the patient is appropriately educated on their options and have optimised their condition prior to surgery.
​
Dr Dan can utilise a variety of approaches and techniques, including robotic aids, personalised instrumentation guides, to help achieve a good outcome.
Uni-compartmental knee Arthroplasty
UKA/ Uni / Half knee replacement
Patellofemoral Arthroplasty
PFJA / knee cap replacement
Patient information - patellofemoral arthritis
​
Patient information- patellofemoral arthroplasty
Often occurring due to patella mal-tracking or dislocations, a replacement of the patellofemoral joint offers the younger/middle aged patient with isolated arthritis ofthe knee cap an option to improve their quality of life.
Revision Knee Arthroplasty
Revision TKA / Knee replacement
Knee replacements can fail for a number of reasons.
​
Eventually, due to the reaction of the bone to the wear particles, a knee replacement may become loose, this requires conversion to a more stable implant with a new bearing surface.
