Complex and Complicated Knee Trauma Surgery
Knee trauma requiring surgery is for the reconstruction of bones, ligaments, and cartilage. These are due to accidents, sports injuries, or falls. Knee traumas involved multiple structures that may include fractures, ligament tears, or meniscal damages.
Types of Knee Trauma Surgery
- Fracture Repair (ORIF): It would involve placing metal plates and screws to secure broken bones.
- Ligament Reconstruction: Torn ACL or PCL should be replaced with a graft.
- Meniscus Surgery: The procedure involves the repair or removal of the damaged cartilage.
- Knee Dislocation Surgery: It aligns bones and then repairs ligaments.
- Vascular/Nerve Repair: Surgery restores blood flow or nerve function.
- Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery to repair soft tissues.
Recovery Process
- Post-Surgery Care: post-surgery care is focused on pain management and healing.
- Physical Therapy: Our Physiotherapy team ensures faster mobility and strength.
Innovations in Surgery
Advancements in robotic-assisted surgeries, biological grafts, and 3D-printed implants have enhanced precision, improved recovery, and therefore provided better results in even the most difficult cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Complex and Complicated Knee Trauma Surgery
Complex knee trauma involves knee injuries that are severe: multiple ligament tears, fractures involving the knee joint, dislocation, and tissue damage to the surrounding structures that more often than not require complex surgical means in repair and restoration.
Complex knee trauma surgery is more involved because there is more damage. In most instances, restoring function and stability requires a combination of procedures: ligament reconstruction, fracture repair, and even sometimes the use of special implants.
The extent of the injury is such that the recovery may be slower and it takes longer to regain strength and mobility. Depending on the severity of trauma that was sustained, there may be a risk of complications such as stiffness, instability, or re-injury.
Possible complications include infection, clots, stiffness of the joint, chronic pain, and healing problems, especially if reconstruction of a bone or ligament is necessary. There’s also a possibility of the joint being unstable if the repair doesn’t restore function completely.
Recovery times certainly depend on the severity of the injury and also on the type of surgery performed. Generally, it may take several months up to a year for recovery; a structured rehabilitation program is usually necessary to regain strength, flexibility, and normal joint function.
