How We Help
Durham Bone & Joint Specialists is an integrated Musculoskeletal Centre, committed to comprehensive care for your knee pain.
Our Surgeon-led MSK care includes both latest advancements in surgery and conservative non-surgical treatments (injections, bracing, pain management, referral for physiotherapy).
We pair patients with the most appropriate sub-specialists to ensure the best experience and outcomes.
Most Common Cases
Osteoarthritis
The most common type of arthritis affecting the knee, characterized by the degeneration of joint cartilage and resulting in pain, inflammation, and dysfunction
Cartilage Injuries
Meniscus injury and articular cartilage injury are the two common cartilage-related issues. The meniscus (the knee’s shock absorber) can tear due to sudden knee twists. In contrast, articular cartilage, a smooth covering on the bones, gets injured due to direct trauma or degeneration
Ligament Injuries and Instability
Ligaments in the knee, like the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) and Medial Patella Femoral Ligament (MPFL), can suffer from stretches or tears due to abrupt movements, affecting knee stability
Tendonitis
Repetitive movements can cause tendon inflammation, leading to tendonitis. It’s common in sports like running, skiing, and cycling. Patellar tendinitis, which affects the patellar tendon, is a common type
Bursitis
Overuse or injury can lead to inflammation in the bursae. These small fluid-filled sacs cushion tendons from the bone. This condition, known as bursitis, can cause significant pain and movement issues
Fracture Management
Common in older adults due to osteoporosis, fractures are serious injuries that result from falls. These fractures can lead to severe pain and significantly impair mobility
Experts in Orthopaedic Surgery
Our Orthopaedic Surgeons are experts in conservative treatment, sports medicine, total knee replacement and revisions, ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair or resection, cartilage lesions and trauma/reconstruction surgeries.
