The Knee Joint
The knee joint is formed by the femur (thigh bone), tibia (leg bone), and patella (knee cap). It is a specialized hinge joint stabilized by multiple ligaments. Ligaments surround the knee and provide stability by limiting abnormal movements. Meniscus is a C-shaped fibrocartilage disc that deepens the flat surface of the knee to provide shock absorption and rotatory stability.
Knee Ligament & Cartilage Injuries
ACL Tear
Anterior Cruciate LigamentACL is a centrally located ligament crucial for preventing abnormal rotatory instability and forward sliding of the leg bone. When torn, it requires keyhole arthroscopic reconstruction.
Read MorePCL Tear
Posterior Cruciate LigamentPCL supports the back of the knee, preventing the leg from slipping backward. Injury results in sagging of the leg, stair climbing difficulty, instability, and long-term joint wear.
Read MoreMCL & LCL Tears
Collateral Ligament CareMCL protects the inner knee, and LCL protects the outer knee (PLC). Grade 3 complete tears or injuries with multi-ligament instability require repair or reconstruction.

Knee Cap InstabilityOccurs when the knee cap slips out of its groove (trochlea), causing severe pain and recurrent instability. Often corrected using advanced MPFL reconstruction.
