If you’re dealing with a complex knee injury, we understand it can be a difficult and daunting time. At Practice Plus Group, we aim to make the healthcare process as straightforward as possible for our customers. Which is why we offer fast access to high-quality complex knee
surgery through several channels: self-pay, insured, and NHS. Our experienced orthopaedic surgeons specialise in treating a wide range of knee conditions and strive to deliver meticulous and bespoke care.
A complex knee injury refers to damage to more than one structure in your knee. Almost all complex knee injuries involve either the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and/or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). So, what makes knee surgery complex? Complex knee surgery deals with a combination of injuries, often to multiple ligaments during the same procedure. The following are some examples of complex knee injuries.
A complex tear in the knee often refers to large meniscal damage that may require repair. These tears can render the knee significantly less functional, whilst the torn fragments can cause symptoms of pain and instability.
Your knee ligaments connect your thigh bone to your lower leg bones. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL) are the two main ligaments of the knee, while the medial collateral (MCL) and lateral collateral ligaments (LCL) are found on the sides of your knee.
Multi-ligament knee injuries occur when two or more of the four major ligaments in the knee are damaged. This can cause significant pain and instability. Athletes who participate in direct contact sports (such as football or rugby) are more likely to injure their multiple knee ligaments.
A torn ACL is a common knee injury, particularly among athletes. It occurs when the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee is torn or ruptured, causing pain, swelling, and instability.
All knee surgery can be complex depending on the type of surgery that needs to be carried out. There is a range of complex knee surgeries, including:
Complex knee ligament reconstructive surgery is a surgical procedure that involves the repair or reconstruction of damaged knee ligaments. It is typically used to treat complex knee injuries that involve multiple damaged ligaments.
Knee revision surgery is a complex procedure that involves replacing a patient’s previous knee replacement with a new prosthesis. This procedure can be challenging for both the patient and surgeon due to the difficulty of extracting the old implant.
During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss with you in depth the different stages of your procedure. This will include the equipment used, challenges faced, and how long it is likely to last.
It’s highly likely you’ll be given a general anaesthetic for the procedure.
Complex knee surgery is typically recommended for patients experiencing:
Your surgeon will evaluate your condition and determine if complex knee surgery is right for you.
Your surgeon will provide specific instructions on how to prepare for your complex knee surgery. These will likely include some or all of the following:
The price of complex knee surgery in the UK ranges from around £10,000 to £16,000, with the most common quote settling around £12,000.
The total cost will depend on the type of surgery you need, the damage to your knee, and the location of the hospital.
At Practice Plus Group, we offer a range of complex knee surgery payment options. These are self-pay, insured, and NHS routes.
Like any surgery, complex knee procedures carry risks and complications. These include:
When successful, complex knee surgery can provide a range of benefits and long-term results. These include:
Your surgeon will discuss the expected results of your specific surgery with you.
Recovery varies depending on the type and extent of your surgery, your age, and your general health. It may take several months or longer to fully recover from knee surgery. This can vary depending on your age and general health. Most patients can resume their normal activities a month or two after surgery. However, returning to sports may take up to six months or beyond.
Physiotherapy is a crucial factor in your recovery. It will help you regain strength and mobility in the affected knee.
Most patients will be able to be discharged on the same day as their surgery.
Recovery from multiple ligament knee surgery can be extensive and challenging. It may also take several months to fully recover. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions and a recovery timeline based on your individual situation.
