What is the ‘Acute Knee Clinic’?

​

I run a clinic specifically for patients with an acute knee injury. The aim of the clinic is to see you as promptly as possible following an injury to initiate appropriate management in order to facilitate an early return to activity.

​

Appropriate candidates include any patients who have recently injured their knee, for example, due to a weekend sports injury, a fall or similar.
