From symptoms to the right clinical pathway.
Every pathway begins with diagnosis. Treatment may be non-surgical or surgical depending on the condition, evidence and your goals.
What the symptoms may mean
Knee care
Clinical examination and targeted imaging help distinguish arthritis, meniscus, cartilage, kneecap and ligament problems.
What care may include
Care may include physiotherapy, medication, injections, arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction or joint replacement.
Interactive anatomy
See what may be happening beneath the pain.
Move over the joint or choose a structure. Anatomy helps explain symptoms—but examination and imaging are needed for a diagnosis.
Anterior cruciate ligament
Helps control forward movement and rotation of the shin bone. A tear may cause a pop, swelling and a sense that the knee gives way.
Discuss your symptoms
Select a structure to exploreEducational visual—not a diagnostic image.
Treatment options
Treatment follows the diagnosis—not the other way around.
Care may begin with rehabilitation and progress to surgery only when the diagnosis, expected benefit and your goals support it. Detailed treatment pages will explain each option in depth.
01Ask whether it fits your case
Non-surgical care
A clear diagnosis may lead to physiotherapy, activity modification, medication or an image-guided injection before surgery is considered.
Who it may suit
Many people with hip or knee pain, depending on the diagnosis, severity and goals.
What it is intended to do
Reduce pain, restore strength and improve function while monitoring how the joint responds.

Clear answers before your first visit.
General information cannot replace an individual medical assessment. Use these answers as a starting point for a better conversation.
Ask your own questionSeek assessment when pain persists, swelling recurs, the joint locks or gives way, sleep is affected, or daily activity becomes limited. Sudden severe pain, deformity or inability to bear weight needs urgent care.
No. Treatment depends on symptoms, examination, imaging, general health and goals. Activity modification, physiotherapy, medication or injections may be considered before surgery where appropriate.
It uses planning and guidance technology to help the surgeon position and balance components with precision. The surgeon remains in control throughout the procedure.
Some injuries can be managed without surgery; others may require repair or reconstruction depending on the tear, instability, activity level and associated damage. A precise diagnosis comes first.
Recovery varies. Early walking often begins soon after surgery, while strength, endurance and confidence build over weeks and months. Your individual plan and safety milestones guide timing.
