Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to diagnose and treat various knee joint problems.
During knee arthroscopy, a small incision is made, and a thin tube called an arthroscope is inserted into the joint. The arthroscope is equipped with a camera that transmits images to a monitor, enabling the surgeon to visualize the internal structures of the knee in real-time.
This technique allows for a detailed examination of the joint, including the cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and surrounding tissues. Additionally, surgical instruments can be inserted through additional small incisions to repair or remove damaged tissues as necessary.

Total knee arthroplasty, also known as total knee replacement, is a surgical procedure to alleviate chronic knee pain and restore function in patients with severe knee joint damage.
During the procedure, the damaged portions of the knee joint, including the ends of the thighbone and shinbone, are removed and replaced with artificial components made of metal and plastic. These components mimic the natural shape and movement of the knee, allowing for improved joint function and pain relief.
Dr Calvert utilises computer navigation and a robotic guided saw to cut bone with millimetre accuracy.
Total knee arthroplasty is typically recommended for individuals with advanced arthritis, significant joint deformity, or limited mobility that hasn't responded to non-surgical treatments.

If you experience any of the following post-operatively please inform Dr Calvert:
Knee replacement surgery replaces damaged joint parts with artificial components, alleviating chronic pain and restoring function in severe knee joint damage or arthritis.
Partial knee replacement, also known as unicompartmental knee replacement, is a surgical procedure to address localized knee joint damage.
Unlike total knee replacement, which involves replacing the entire knee joint, partial knee replacement targets only the damaged compartment of the knee, preserving healthy bone and tissue. The procedure involves removing the damaged portions of the joint, including the affected compartment of the thighbone and shinbone, and replacing them with artificial components.
Partial knee replacement is typically recommended for patients with isolated knee arthritis or injury affecting only one compartment of the knee.

Revision Knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure replace a previously implanted knee prosthesis that has worn out, become loose, or developed complications.
During revision knee arthroplasty, the existing artificial components are removed, and new implants are inserted to restore proper knee joint function.
This procedure is often more complex than the initial knee replacement due to the presence of scar tissue, bone loss, and other challenges.

Revision knee arthroplasty replaces a worn-out knee prosthesis to restore joint function with complexity due to scar tissue, bone loss, and challenges.
Total hip arthroplasty, commonly known as total hip replacement, is a surgical procedure to address severe hip joint pain and restore mobility.
In this procedure, the damaged or diseased portions of the hip joint, including the ball-shaped head of the femur and the socket of the hip bone, are removed and replaced with artificial components. These components, made of metal, ceramic, or a combination of materials, create a new hip joint that allows for smooth movement and reduces pain.
Total hip arthroplasty is commonly recommended for patients with conditions such as osteoarthritis that have not responded to conservative treatments.

Orthopaedic trauma covers a wide range of fractures across the body.
Many of these fractures require timely review by Dr Calvert to ensure the best possible outcome is possible.
For this reason please clearly state the Date of Injury when making an appointment so we can ensure you are seen in a timely fashion.
