Common Knee Surgeries Available in Singapore
Some of the most commonly performed procedures include:
-
Knee Arthroscopy (minimally invasive joint repair)
-
Meniscus Repair or Removal
-
ACL / MCL / PCL Ligament Reconstruction
-
Cartilage Repair or Restoration
-
Partial or Total Knee Replacement
-
Knee Osteotomy (realignment surgery for joint preservation)
These are typically recommended based on your imaging, age, activity level, and whether conservative treatments have been exhausted.
Before undergoing surgery, many patients successfully manage knee pain with non-invasive therapy — especially when imaging shows early arthritis, ligament strain, or meniscal damage.
The Pain Relief Clinic, led by Dr. Terence Tan, focuses on safe, evidence-based treatments that improve movement and reduce pain without surgery or injections.
What they offer:
-
Fast MRI, Ultrasound, and X-ray Imaging to confirm diagnosis
-
Non-invasive medical technology such as:
– Shockwave Therapy – stimulates healing and reduces stiffness
– Radiofrequency Therapy – calms nerve-related pain -
In-house physiotherapy for active rehab and strengthening
Recommended for:
-
Meniscus or ligament injuries
-
Early knee arthritis or wear-and-tear
-
Individuals seeking second opinions before surgery
-
Travellers looking for fast, effective treatment with minimal downtime
“Many patients referred for surgery improve significantly with a combination of imaging, targeted therapy, and movement-based rehabilitation,” shares Dr. Tan.
