Knee Ligament Surgery
At London Knee Care, knee ligament surgery is performed to repair or reconstruct torn ligaments that cause pain, instability, or restricted movement. Ligament injuries are common in sports and physical activities, often involving the ACL or PCL. We use advanced keyhole techniques to restore knee stability, improve strength, and help patients return to an active lifestyle safely and confidently.
About Knee Ligament Surgery
At London Knee Care, we specialise in knee ligament surgery to restore stability, strength, and mobility following ligament injuries. The ligaments of the knee — particularly the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), PCL (posterior cruciate ligament), MCL, and LCL — play a vital role in maintaining balance and movement. When these ligaments are torn or stretched due to sports injuries, accidents, or trauma, they can cause pain, weakness, and instability.
We use advanced reconstruction and repair techniques, often performed through minimally invasive keyhole procedures, to restore normal joint function and help patients return to active, confident movement.

When Is Knee Ligament Surgery Required?
Knee ligament surgery is recommended when an injury causes ongoing pain, swelling, or instability that does not improve with rest or physiotherapy. It is most often required for partial or complete ACL or PCL tears, multiple ligament injuries, or recurring knee instability during movement.
At London Knee Care, our expert knee surgeon performs detailed clinical examinations and imaging to assess the extent of damage and determine whether surgical repair or reconstruction is the best option for restoring knee stability and strength.

I have had knee pain for years. It began at when I was 33 years old. It’s gone now because of Dr Khakha who is very accurate in his prognosis, and diagnosis. He doesn’t jump to the most convenient treatment but takes time to understand underlying issue & plan treatment and rehab.
