Knee Surgery
The knee is a complex joint involving many different structures and is vital to everyday and sporting activities. Knee injuries are very common and damage can be caused from an acute, sudden injury or it can be caused from long term degeneration such as Osteoarthritis. Physiotherapy can be used to treat knee problems but if it cannot, or if treatment is not effective, knee surgery is a common treatment and physiotherapy is often an effective way of rehabilitating the knee after surgery.
