To Help You Move More Comfortably….
Knee pain and reduced mobility can have a significant impact on your daily activities, work and quality of life. When non-surgical treatments are no longer providing adequate relief, knee surgery may be considered to help restore movement and improve joint function.
Partial knee replacement surgery replaces only the damaged part of the knee joint while preserving the healthy areas of the knee. This procedure may be considered when arthritis affects only one compartment of the knee.
Total knee replacement surgery replaces the worn surfaces of the knee joint with prosthetic components to help relieve pain and improve mobility. It may be considered for advanced knee arthritis when non-surgical treatments no longer provide adequate relief.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses three-dimensional imaging and computer-assisted planning to help Dr Samson tailor your surgery to your individual anatomy. During the procedure, the Mako robotic system supports accurate bone preparation and implant positioning, with Dr Samson remaining in control throughout. The aim is to relieve pain, improve knee function and help you move more comfortably in everyday life.
Revision knee replacement involves replacing some or all of an existing knee replacement to address problems such as wear, loosening, instability or infection. The procedure is tailored to the cause of the problem and the condition of your knee. The aim is to relieve pain, improve stability and help you move more comfortably in everyday life.
Knee arthroscopy uses a small camera and surgical instruments through small incisions to assess and treat selected problems within the knee, such as certain meniscus tears or loose fragments. The procedure is tailored to the underlying condition and may be considered when non-surgical treatment has not provided adequate relief. The aim is to relieve symptoms and help you move more comfortably.
ACL reconstruction surgery is performed to restore stability to the knee after a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament. The procedure involves reconstructing the damaged ligament using a graft to help stabilise the knee joint.
Meniscus repair surgery treats tears in the cartilage that cushions the knee joint. Depending on the type and location of the tear, the damaged meniscus may be repaired or surgically treated to support knee stability and movement.
Osteochondral repair treats damage to the smooth cartilage covering the knee joint and the underlying bone. Depending on the size and location of the damage, surgery may involve securing a loose fragment or using a graft to restore the affected area. The procedure is tailored to your knee condition, with the aim of reducing pain, improving joint function and supporting a return to everyday activities.
Knee surgery may be considered when pain, stiffness or instability continues to affect daily activities despite non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, medication or injections. During your consultation, Dr Samson will assess your symptoms, examine your knee and review imaging to determine the most appropriate treatment options.
Recovery time can vary depending on the procedure performed and your overall health. Many patients begin gentle movement and physiotherapy soon after surgery, with gradual improvement over the following weeks and months. Your recovery plan will be tailored to support safe healing and return to activity.
Dr Samson performs a range of knee procedures including total knee replacement, robotic-assisted knee replacement, partial knee replacement, ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair. The most appropriate procedure will depend on your diagnosis and individual treatment needs.
Physiotherapy is often an important part of recovery after knee surgery. Guided exercises help restore movement, strength and stability in the knee joint. Your rehabilitation plan will be discussed with you following surgery to support recovery and return to daily activities.
Dr Anthony Samson welcomes new patients with a valid referral from a General Practitioner (GP) or specialist.
