Knee Surgery
Advanced knee surgery. Individualised care.
Advanced knee surgery. Individualised care.
My clinical work focuses on the treatment of knee and sports injuries, particularly in active individuals and athletes.
Treating a knee injury is not just about a single procedure. A good outcome requires an accurate diagnosis, the right choice of treatment, meticulous surgical technique, structured rehabilitation and an understanding of the patient’s individual goals.
I treat ligament, meniscus and cartilage injuries, as well as complex knee injuries and revision cases.

ACL Reconstruction
ACL Reconstruction
ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT (ACL) INJURIES AND ACL RECONSTRUCTION
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common, particularly in sports involving changes of direction and rotational movements. An ACL injury can affect knee stability, confidence and athletic performance.
Treatment is planned individually, taking into account the patient’s age, activity level, sport, associated knee injuries and long-term goals.
When surgery is indicated, the aim is to restore knee stability and create the best possible conditions for rehabilitation and a safe return to physical activity and sport.

Treatment is planned individually, taking into account the patient's age, activity level, sport, other knee injuries, and long-term goals.
When surgical treatment is indicated, the goal is to restore knee stability and create the best possible conditions for rehabilitation and a safe return to physical activity and sports.
Revision ACL Reconstruction
Revision ACL Reconstruction
INDIVIDUALISED TREATMENT FOR RECURRENT ACL INJURY
Revision ACL surgery often requires a different approach from primary ACL reconstruction. Before further surgery, it is important to understand why the previous reconstruction failed.
The assessment includes graft and tunnel position, rotational instability, meniscal status, associated ligament injuries, lower-limb alignment and individual risk factors.
Revision surgery therefore does not simply mean replacing the ACL graft. The treatment strategy is planned individually according to the overall condition and anatomy of the knee.

Meniscus-Preserving Surgery
Meniscus-Preserving Surgery
PRESERVING THE MENISCUS WHENEVER POSSIBLE
The meniscus distributes load across the knee, contributes to stability and protects the articular cartilage. Particularly in active patients, I aim to preserve functional meniscal tissue whenever biologically and technically possible. Treatment may include meniscus repair, root repair or other advanced meniscal procedures. In selected cases where the meniscal tissue has been completely lost, meniscal transplantation may also be considered. The choice of treatment depends on the type and location of the tear, tissue quality, the extent of meniscal tissue loss and the overall condition of the knee.

Patellar Instability
Patellar Instability
PATELLOFEMORAL PROBLEMS AND MPFL SURGERY
Recurrent patellar instability may be caused by several anatomical and functional factors.
Treatment is based on identifying the individual causes of instability. The same procedure is not appropriate for every patient.
Surgical treatment may include patellar stabilisation and, when necessary, correction of anatomical factors contributing to the instability.

CARTILAGE INJURIES AND OSTEOCHONDRITIS DISSECANS
Chondral and osteochondral lesions require careful assessment of the entire knee, not only the cartilage defect itself.
Treatment is influenced by the size and location of the lesion, involvement of the underlying bone, the patient’s age and activity level, as well as possible instability or malalignment.
Whenever possible, the aim is to preserve the patient’s own joint and create the best conditions for long-term function.

MULTILIGAMENT AND COMPLEX KNEE INJURIES
Some knee injuries involve damage to several structures at the same time.
Combinations of ligament, meniscus and cartilage injuries require a comprehensive treatment strategy, in which the timing and sequence of different procedures may also be important.
Treatment is planned according to knee stability, the injury pattern, activity level and the patient’s goals.

Osteotomy
Osteotomy
CORRECTION OF LOWER-LIMB ALIGNMENT
In selected cases, lower-limb alignment can significantly influence knee loading, symptoms and the outcome of ligament or meniscus surgery.
Osteotomy can redistribute load across the knee and protect the affected joint compartment as part of a joint-preserving treatment strategy.
Careful patient selection and precise preoperative planning are essential.

RETURN TO SPORT
Return to Sport
Return to Sport
Surgery is only one step on the path back to physical activity and sport.
Return to sport is not based solely on time or a single test result. I assess recovery as a whole, taking into account biological healing, muscle strength, movement control, functional performance, the demands of the sport and the individual risk of reinjury.
Return to Sport is one of my particular professional areas of interest.

The same diagnosis does not always mean the same treatment.
My treatment plan is based on understanding the injury, individual anatomy, the patient’s activity level and the goals that are important to them.
