ACL Reconstruction Knee Surgery Richmond South

Sports injuries Richmond South

Hurt your knee while playing sports? You’re not the only one. Around 5.2 million Australians receive a sports-related injury every single year – mostly in the knee – and  the number is only rising. 

Specialising in sports medicine for the knee, Mr Pai has treated numerous patients with sport injuries in Richmond South and across the city of Melbourne. He is able to guide you through the treatment and recovery process, giving you valuable practical advice that will have you back on your feet faster. 

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) treatment Richmond South

An ACL injury is one of the most common types of knee injury and it can hinder you from playing sport to your true potential. A knee specialist can perform ACL surgery that restores the stability of your knee.

ACL surgery for children is particularly difficult, as special care must be taken to minimise damage to their growth plates. The surgical considerations for children are far more complex than ACL surgery for adults. 

After completing training in paediatric orthopaedics at Shriners Hospital for Children in Portland, USA, Mr Pai has developed the skills and the expertise to operate on children with an ACL tear. 

Treatment begins with the help of an experienced physiotherapist. In the early stages, it’s important to reduce the swelling and restore the motion in your knee. As surgery isn’t appropriate for every patient, Mr Pai will advise you on the various management options you have that best suit your injury and aspirations.

If you require ACL surgery, Mr Pai is committed to being involved in all phases of your treatment journey. He prides himself on his communication, and will liaise closely with all members of your healthcare team – before and after your ACL surgery – to ensure you are progressing appropriately through your rehabilitation process. 

Knee Replacement Surgery Richmond South

1 in 11 Australians will suffer from osteoarthritis and it is the leading cause of pain and disability in the elderly. The knee pain from osteoarthritis can significantly affect your function and movement within the knee. A knee replacement surgery is an effective treatment to relieve knee pain from osteoarthritis. Approximately 20,000 knee replacements are being performed each year in Australia. If you have disabling osteoarthritis, a specialist assessment should be obtained to review all your options.

Mr Pai regularly performs partial knee replacements as well as total knee replacements and is happy to assess your suitability for this. He has received training to perform robotic knee surgery to ensure the components in your knee are placed accurately and last a long time. With his surgical and anaesthetic team, Mr Pai will ensure you are comfortable during and after your knee surgery so you are on the road to a fast recovery. If you are considering a knee replacement, contact us to book a consultation.
