Getting athletes and active patients back to sport
Sports knee injuries need a treatment plan built around your goals, not just your scan. Mr Paul Jermin combines surgical expertise with a first-hand understanding of what it takes to return to competitive and recreational sport.
Many sports knee injuries respond well to physiotherapy and structured rehabilitation, but some require surgical intervention to restore full function and allow a safe return to sport. Mr Paul Jermin is a former fell runner with first-hand understanding of the demands sport places on the body.
Sporting knee injuries treated include:
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears
- Meniscal tears (repair or removal)
- Cartilage damage and chondral defects
- Patella dislocations and instability
Treatment is always tailored to your sport, your goals, and your timeline. Where surgery is recommended, he uses minimally invasive techniques wherever possible to support the fastest safe recovery.

Your Journey
Mr Jermin takes a detailed history of your injury and sporting demands, and examines your knee to establish an initial diagnosis.
An MRI is typically arranged to assess ligaments, cartilage, and soft tissue in detail.
A plan is agreed based on your sport, your goals, and your timeline, considering both surgical and non-surgical options.
Where surgery is recommended, minimally invasive techniques are used wherever possible to support a faster, safer recovery.
A phased rehabilitation programme guides your safe return to training and competition.
