KNEE

Your knee is a complex joint consisting of bone, cartilage, meniscus, multiple ligaments, tendons, bursa and muscles. These structures can often be affected by an injury or a degenerative process. Problems with the knee can manifest in numerous ways and may include pain, swelling, instability or locking.

Dr deGiorgio offers comprehensive management of all knee conditions. If surgery is required he is able to utilise a number of techniques. These include arthroscopic (keyhole), computer assisted and conventional surgery.

Currently he is using ROSA (robotic surgical assistant - Zimmer) for knee arthroplasty.
