Knee Conditions We Manage

Knee problems may be broadly grouped into two categories: Arthritis and sports-related injuries.
Knee Arthritis

Knee Arthritis

Knee arthritis occurs when the smooth cartilage that cushions the joint wears away. This leads to pain, swelling, and stiffness that can interfere with everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or even resting comfortably.
The condition is more common with age but can also result from previous injury or certain inflammatory joint diseases. Over time, arthritis may cause reduced mobility and affect quality of life if not addressed.
  • Degeneration of cartilage causing pain, swelling, and stiffness.
  • Often seen with age, but can also occur after injury or in inflammatory joint disease.

Sports-Related Knee Injuries

Ligament Injuries (ACL, MCL)

Sprains or tears from sudden stops, pivots, or impact.

Patellar Tendon Injuries (Jumper’s Knee)

Inflammation or strain in the tendon connecting kneecap to shinbone.

Cartilage Injuries

Focal cartilage damage leading to swelling, pain, or locking.

Meniscus Tear

Cartilage damage from twisting, squatting, or sports trauma.

Treatment Options for Knee Conditions

We start with non-surgical care wherever possible. Treatment is personalised depending on the condition and its severity.

Non-Surgical Treatments

Physiotherapy

Strengthening and flexibility exercises.

Activity Modification

Reducing high-impact activities, adapting daily routines.

Medication

Anti-inflammatories or pain relievers.

Bracing or Supports

For stability and pain relief.
Joint Injections

Injections

Injections may be considered as part of the treatment plan for managing knee pain and inflammation. They are usually recommended when other non-surgical options such as medication, physiotherapy, or lifestyle changes are not providing sufficient relief.
These procedures are carried out in a clinical setting and are aimed at supporting joint mobility and reducing discomfort. Your orthopaedic specialist will discuss whether this approach is suitable for your condition.
  • Used as part of non-surgical management for knee pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

We assess and manage a variety of knee conditions, ranging from sports-related injuries to age-related joint problems. These include ligament injuries such as ACL and MCL tears, meniscus tears, cartilage injuries, kneecap instability, patellar tendonitis, and knee arthritis. We also provide care for overuse injuries, post-traumatic conditions, and degenerative changes in the knee.

You do not need a referral to visit Liberty Orthopaedic Clinic. Patients may contact us directly to arrange an appointment with our orthopaedic knee specialist. We welcome self-referred patients as well as those referred by their general practitioner, physiotherapist, or another healthcare provider.

Surgical management depends on the diagnosis and severity of the condition. Procedures may include minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, ligament reconstruction, meniscus repair, cartilage restoration, and partial or total knee replacement. All surgical options are discussed in detail during consultation, including benefits, risks, and expected recovery.

Most patients are able to return to pre-injury state after treatment. Recovery time varies with the type of surgery, the extent of the injury, and the individual’s overall health. Many patients return to light activities within several weeks, but more physically demanding activities and sports may require several months of rehabilitation. A structured physiotherapy programme is essential to support healing and restore function.

Yes. We provide care for professional athletes, competitive sports players, recreational enthusiasts, and individuals who simply want to return to their usual daily activities. Our approach is tailored to each patient’s goals, whether that’s resuming competitive play or regaining pain-free movement for daily living.

Surgery is usually covered by your insurance provider in Singapore. The details of coverage may vary depending on your policy and plan. Should you require surgery, we will advise you accordingly.

If you have pain, swelling, difficulty bearing weight, instability, or a feeling that your knee has “given way,” it is advisable to have your knee assessed promptly. Early evaluation can help prevent further injury and start appropriate management quickly. If you feel your condition is urgent, you may contact our clinic anytime for emergency assistance.

Where possible, we begin with non-surgical options such as physiotherapy, bracing, medication, activity modification, and targeted injections. These approaches aim to reduce pain, improve mobility, and strengthen the muscles supporting the knee.

Appointments can be made by phone, email, WhatsApp, or through our online booking form on the Liberty Orthopaedic Clinic website. Our staff will help schedule a convenient time for your consultation.
