Knee Clinic Treatments

Interventional Knee Surgery Procedures

Vale healthcare provides patient focused care and excellence in treating all conditions at the Knee Clinic. We provide a complete service which encompasses assessment, diagnosis, knee surgery and rehabilitation. All our knee treatments are performed to the highest standards with regular audit and assessment of outcome results.

All knee surgery takes place at either the Cardiff Bay Clinic (day-case procedures including arthrscopies) or The Vale Hospital.

These are some but not all of the knee surgery procedures carried out by Vale Healthcare's Knee surgeons.

Knee Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is commonly known as 'key hole surgery'. In knee arthroscopy, usually only two or three 5mm puncture wounds are required. Knee arthroscopy is used to determine more precisely what is causing knee pain
