Conditions Our Knee Specialist Treats
Our knees are intricate and complex, making them vulnerable to injury. Persistent pain and swelling are the most common signs. While it may be tempting to ignore them, doing so can lead to more serious, long-term damage.

- Knee osteoarthritis
- Meniscus tear

- Knee cartilage injury
- Knee fractures
- Tendinitis and tendon injuries

Knee Procedures We Offer
While simple treatments like braces and rehabilitation exercises can help, severe knee injuries may require more intensive procedures for a complete recovery.
Our clinic is fully equipped to perform a variety of advanced knee procedures, including:
- Knee Replacement Surgery: This procedure replaces a damaged knee joint with an artificial implant to relieve pain and restore function.
- Meniscus Surgery: This surgery repairs or removes a torn meniscus, a C-shaped cartilage in the knee, to reduce pain and improve joint stability.
- ACL Reconstruction Surgery: This procedure rebuilds a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using a tissue graft to restore stability to the knee.
- Knee Cartilage Repair: This procedure uses various techniques to mend or replace damaged cartilage on the surface of the knee joint.
FAQs on Knee Injuries and Treatments
When should you see a knee specialist?
After a forceful impact, you should see a knee specialist if your knee is badly swollen, red, tender or warm. Other red flags include persistent pain, an inability to bear weight, a limited range of motion or a fever. A professional evaluation is crucial for an accurate diagnosis and to prevent the condition from worsening.
Can knee conditions be prevented?
Although not all knee conditions can be prevented, you can take proactive steps to strengthen your knees and reduce the risk of injury. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are among the most effective and manageable ways to protect your knee joints over time.
What should I consider when choosing a knee specialist in Singapore?
When choosing a knee specialist in Singapore, you should look for several key factors: strong credentials, relevant subspecialty training and extensive years of experience. It is also important to consider their medical approach, read patient reviews and check practical matters like clinic accessibility and whether the clinic is insurance-friendly.
What can I expect at my first knee specialist visit?
During your initial consultation, the doctor will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms and lifestyle and perform a physical examination. They may also use imaging tests like X-rays or an MRI to get a clearer picture of your condition. This is also a great opportunity for you to ask questions about your diagnosis and potential treatments.
Is surgery required for all knee conditions?
Not all knee conditions require surgery. Many knee issues can be managed conservatively, like rest, physiotherapy, injections or bracing. Surgery is considered only when necessary or when other treatments fail.
