    • Our orthopaedic specialists run a leading knee clinic in London. We provide specialist care for both acute injuries and long-term conditions affecting the knee joint.

      Our consultants assess a broad range of conditions, including:

      • Acute injuries such as sprains, ligament tears and fractures

      • Chronic conditions including tendon disorders and osteoarthritis

      • Structural or biomechanical abnormalities affecting joint alignment and function

      Without appropriate treatment, knee conditions may lead to:

      • Persistent or worsening pain

      • Reduced mobility and joint stiffness

      • Swelling and inflammation

      • Muscle weakness and imbalance

      • Joint instability and increased risk of falls

    • Recognising the symptoms of knee injury early can support more effective treatment and recovery.

      You may benefit from specialist assessment if you experience:

      • Persistent muscle pain

      • Reduced motion in your joint

      • Joint pain, including swelling, redness, clicking or locking of the knee joint

      • Weakness in legs

      • Ongoing discomfort from a previous injury

      If symptoms persist or worsen, a clinical evaluation can help identify the cause and prevent further complications.

       

    • Knee pain can arise from a variety of causes, ranging from acute injury to underlying medical conditions.

      Common causes include:

      • Injury or trauma, such as ligament tears (including ACL injuries) or dislocation

      • Meniscus injuries

      • Repetitive strain from physical activity or overuse

      • Degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis

      • Tendon conditions, including patellar or quadriceps tendinopathy

      • Biomechanical factors affecting movement and alignment

      A thorough assessment is essential to determine the precise cause and guide appropriate treatment.

       

    • At Mayo Clinic Healthcare, diagnosis is led by experienced consultants supported by advanced MSK imaging. This ensures a detailed and accurate understanding of your condition.  

      Tests may include: 

      • X-rays to assess bone structure, alignment, and joint changes 

      • MRI scans to evaluate ligaments, tendons, and cartilage

      • Ultrasound imaging for dynamic tendon assessment 

      • CT scans for detailed analysis of complex fractures or deformities 

      Our departments work closely with each other, and may sometimes collaborate with our US clinic, too. Depending on your condition, you might be referred to one of our other specialist teams, like physiotherapy or radiology.

    • We offer a comprehensive range of treatments, tailored to your diagnosis, lifestyle and personal goals. Wherever appropriate, we prioritise non-surgical and minimally invasive approaches to support effective recovery with minimal disruption.

      At our private orthopaedic clinic, your care may include:

      • Specialist assessment for minimally invasive procedures involving joints, tendons and ligaments
      • Non-surgical management of arthritis, sprains, soft tissue injuries and chronic pain
      • Evaluation of complex or persistent symptoms, including post-surgical concerns
      • Personalised care for sports-related injuries
      • Support from a dedicated nursing team, including plaster care, wound management and fitting of medical aids
      • Image-guided injections, including corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
      • Ultrasound-guided procedures to target pain and promote healing

      Our multidisciplinary team works closely together to ensure your care is coordinated, responsive and aligned with your long-term health, mobility and wellbeing.

    • Your consultation at our knee clinic in London will be thorough, unhurried and focused on your individual concerns.

      During your appointment, your specialist will:

      • Take a detailed medical history and discuss your symptoms and limitations

      • Perform a comprehensive physical examination of the knee

      • Assess movement, strength and joint stability

      • Review any previous imaging or investigations

      • Recommend further diagnostic tests or treatment where required
