Sports Knee Surgery

Specialist surgical care for sports-related knee injuries

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.

Sports knee surgery

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.

  • Almost all sporting injury types treated

Is this treatment for you?

  • Sudden knee pain or swelling after a sporting injury
  • A feeling of the knee giving way
  • Locking or catching sensations in the joint
  • Difficulty weight-bearing after injury
  • Pain preventing return to training or competition
  • A pop or snap felt at the time of injury

Your Journey

Initial consultation

Mr Jermin takes a detailed history of your injury and sporting demands, and examines your knee to establish an initial diagnosis.

Imaging and assessment

An MRI is typically arranged to assess ligaments, cartilage, and soft tissue in detail.

Treatment planning

A plan is agreed based on your sport, your goals, and your timeline, considering both surgical and non-surgical options.

Surgery

Where surgery is recommended, minimally invasive techniques are used wherever possible to support a faster, safer recovery.

Recovery and return to sport

A phased rehabilitation programme guides your safe return to training and competition.
