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.
