Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Choose the Best Doctor for Meniscus Repair in the United Kingdom?

  • GMC-registered and holds an FRCS (Orth) certification
  • Fellowship-trained in knee preservation surgery or sports medicine
  • Routinely performs arthroscopic meniscus repairs, especially all-inside or inside-out techniques
  • Affiliated with leading NHS hospitals or JCI-accredited private orthopaedic centres
