What We Offer
For patients with severe knee arthritis or joint damage that cannot be effectively treated with conservative measures, Dr. Laric offers advanced knee replacement procedures. This includes both partial knee replacement for localised arthritis and total knee replacement for widespread joint deterioration. Using the latest implant technologies and surgical techniques, Dr. Laric helps patients achieve significant pain relief and restored mobility. The practice provides comprehensive pre-operative planning, surgical expertise, and post-operative rehabilitation support to ensure optimal outcomes and long-lasting results for each patient's unique needs.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows Dr. Laric to diagnose and treat various knee problems through small incisions using a specialised camera called an arthroscope. This advanced procedure enables precise visualisation of the internal knee structures, including cartilage, ligaments, and meniscus, while minimising tissue damage and scarring. Patients benefit from reduced recovery time, less post-operative pain, and faster return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery. Common conditions treated through arthroscopy include cartilage damage, loose bone fragments, and inflammatory tissue removal.
The knee's stability depends heavily on its ligament structures, particularly the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL). Dr. Laric specialises in both surgical and non-surgical treatment of ligament injuries, utilising state-of-the-art reconstruction techniques when necessary to restore joint stability and function. Rehabilitation protocols are carefully tailored to each patient's specific injury and lifestyle goals.
The meniscus acts as a crucial shock absorber and stabilizer within the knee joint, and injuries to this cartilage structure can significantly impact mobility and comfort. Dr. Laric provides comprehensive treatment for meniscus tears, ranging from degenerative changes due to aging to acute tears from sports injuries. Treatment options may include meniscal repair to preserve tissue or partial meniscectomy to remove damaged portions, always with the goal of preserving long-term joint health.
