Microfracture produces fibrocartilage that deteriorates — fewer than 60% of patients retain satisfactory results at three years. AMIC applies a collagen membrane to stabilise the clot and promote durable repair: at 10 years, patients show stable functional scores whilst microfracture shows progre...
ChondroFiller, an acellular collagen scaffold, fills focal Grade III or IV knee cartilage defects and triggers repair that produces hyaline-like tissue; 19,000+ treatments show zeroserious complications and reoperation rates of 3–8%, compared to 41% for microfracture.
ACL reconstruction, meniscus root repair and knee replacement each demand different rehabilitation rules, from criterion-based return to sport after ACL surgery to slower early loading after root repair. Prehabilitation before knee replacement focuses on strength, balance and mobility, but provis...
After a knee injection, gentle movement is usually encouraged straight away, but running, heavy lifting and twisting are commonly avoided for 24–48 hours, with steroid injections often needing 1–2 days away from sport and PRP programmes sometimes delaying harder exercise for up to two weeks.
A knee that twists, pops and swells within hours, then feels unstable, points more towards an ACL tear; slower swelling with catching or locking suggests a meniscus tear, while pain and stiffness that build over time are more typical of knee arthritis. Symptoms overlap, so history and examination...
Steroid knee injections are usually limited to about three or four a year in the same knee, with gaps of at least 6–12 weeks, because repeated use adds to steroid exposure and may affect joint structures. In the NHS, steroid injections are the main routine option, while hyaluronic acid, PRP and n...
