QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Dr. Thomas Boerger, Consultant Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgeon, frequently performs Arthroscopy (keyhole) knee surgery.

Some selected patients benefit from Arthroscopic Meniscal surgery. For example, with acute meniscal tears, meniscal repair can be appropriate. Degenerative meniscal tears (wear-and-tear) can benefit from arthroscopic surgery if mechanical symptoms prevail or patients fail to improve after a course of physiotherapy.

Whether symptoms can be effectively managed depends on the overall wear-and-tear state of the knee. If pre-operative weight bearing knee x-rays show evidence of osteoarthritis, knee arthroscopy and so-called “scraping and clean out” may not be of any benefit. Dr Boerger will advise his patients ethically if such surgery is likely to improve knee pain.

Arthroscopic and Meniscal surgery uses less invasive techniques, to enable swifter recuperation. Recovery and rehabilitation vary with each client and Dr. Thomas Boerger will explain to you in detail all potential risks and known complications and the expected outcomes including anticipated recovery and rehabilitation timescales.

Patient satisfaction after Arthroscopic Meniscal surgery is very high. For further information on specific Knee and Hip procedures please consult the relevant procedure pages and watch our client testimonial videos.
