Knee Injections
Targeted pain relief and inflammation control
Image-guided injections may include steroid, hyaluronic acid, PRP or Arthrosamid, helping reduce pain, improve movement and support knee preservation where appropriate.

Arthrosamid® Injections
Long‑lasting pain relief without surgery
Arthrosamid® is an advanced injectable hydrogel designed to provide sustained pain relief for people with knee osteoarthritis. Unlike traditional injections that wear off after weeks or months, Arthrosamid integrates into the knee joint lining, helping to cushion the joint and reduce inflammation over a much longer period.
This treatment is particularly suitable for patients who wish to delay or avoid knee replacement surgery, or for those who have not achieved lasting benefit from steroid or hyaluronic acid injections.
Potential benefits include:
Long-lasting reduction in knee pain
Improved mobility and confidence when walking
Minimally invasive, day-case treatment
No general anaesthetic required
Arthrosamid injections are carefully selected following specialist assessment to ensure they are appropriate for your level of arthritis and symptoms.
Invasive Treatments
Knee Arthroscopy (Keyhole Surgery)
Minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment
A keyhole procedure used to diagnose and treat a range of knee problems such as meniscal tears, cartilage damage and loose bodies. It uses small incisions and a camera, allowing for faster recovery and minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.
Partial Knee Replacement
Targeted joint replacement for isolated arthritis
When arthritis affects only one part of the knee, a partial knee replacement can relieve pain while preserving healthy bone and ligaments. This often results in a more natural-feeling knee and quicker rehabilitation than total replacement.
Robotic-Assisted Knee Surgery
Enhanced precision for optimal outcomes
Robotic-assisted technology helps plan and perform knee replacement surgery with exceptional accuracy. This allows for personalised alignment, improved implant positioning and potentially faster recovery.
Revision Knee Surgery
Specialist care for failed or painful knee replacements
Revision surgery is complex and requires specialist expertise. Mr El-Tawil has extensive experience managing worn, loose or infected knee replacements, restoring stability, comfort and function.
Knee Preservation Surgery
Protecting your natural knee for as long as possible
These procedures aim to delay or avoid knee replacement by addressing the underlying cause of pain, such as alignment issues or cartilage damage. Ideal for younger or active patients.
Knee Realignment Surgery (Osteotomy)
Correcting alignment to relieve pressure and pain
Osteotomy redistributes load within the knee joint, reducing pain and slowing the progression of arthritis. It can be an excellent option for active patients with early arthritis.
ACL & Ligament Reconstruction
Restoring stability after knee injury
Reconstruction of injured knee ligaments — including the ACL and PCL — helps restore stability, control and confidence in the joint. These procedures are particularly important for active individuals or those whose knee gives way during daily activities.
Meniscal & Cartilage Repair
Preserving vital shock-absorbing structures
Where possible, damaged meniscus or cartilage is repaired rather than removed, helping protect the knee from early arthritis and maintaining long-term joint health.
Patellofemoral (Kneecap) Surgery
Targeted solutions for anterior knee pain and instability
Specialist procedures address kneecap maltracking, instability or arthritis, improving pain, alignment and function with a personalised surgical approach.
Paediatric Knee & Sports Injuries
Specialist care for children and adolescents
Children’s knees require a careful, growth-aware approach. Mr El-Tawil treats paediatric fractures, sports injuries and developmental knee conditions with tailored expertise.
Tendon Repair
Restoring strength and knee function
Tendon injuries around the knee, such as patellar or quadriceps tendon ruptures, can significantly impair movement. Timely surgical repair helps restore strength, mobility and confidence, supported by a structured rehabilitation programme.
Additional Information
Minimally Invasive (Keyhole) Knee Surgery
When surgery is required, minimally invasive techniques are used wherever appropriate. These procedures typically allow for:
- Smaller incisions
- Faster recovery times
- Reduced post‑operative pain
Knee Replacement Surgery
For patients with significant arthritis or joint damage, knee replacement surgery can be highly effective in relieving pain and restoring mobility.
Options include:
- Partial knee replacement (unicondylar or patellofemoral)
- Total knee replacement
- Robotic‑assisted knee replacement for enhanced accuracy
- Revision knee replacement for failed or worn implants
Mr El‑Tawil’s specialist training in computer‑assisted and robotic techniques allows for precise implant positioning and a personalised approach to each knee.
