Knee pain and joint conditions are among the most common reasons patients seek orthopedic care, especially as active lifestyles, aging, and joint injuries place strain on the knees. Today, advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques are revolutionizing knee surgery, making treatment less painful and recovery more efficient.
At PRIME Hospital, patients have access to world-class orthopedic care that blends cutting-edge technology with a deeply patient-centered approach. From arthroscopic procedures to minimally invasive total knee replacements, PRIME is redefining orthopedic care in the region.
Minimally invasive knee surgery involves performing procedures through smaller incisions using advanced tools, cameras (arthroscopes), and guided techniques. Unlike traditional open knee surgery, which requires large incisions and greater tissue disruption, this approach focuses on precision with minimal impact on surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Arthroscopic knee surgery is often used to treat ligament tears (such as ACL injuries), meniscus damage, and cartilage conditions. Surgeons insert a fiber-optic camera through a small incision, guiding instruments to repair internal structures. This technique is particularly favored for its minimal scarring, reduced pain, and faster recovery time.
For patients suffering from osteoarthritis or extensive joint damage, PRIME Hospital offers minimally invasive knee replacement procedures. By using smaller incisions and avoiding muscle detachment, surgeons can replace the damaged knee joint with precision-fitted prosthetic components, often resulting in faster recovery and reduced post-operative discomfort.
Minimally invasive knee surgery offers several clinical and patient-centered advantages:
Yes! Minimally invasive knee surgery generally leads to quicker rehabilitation timelines. At PRIME Hospital, the focus on personalized care means each patient receives a recovery plan tailored to their condition and goals. Physical therapy starts soon after knee replacement, with many patients regaining mobility, strength, and confidence within weeks.
The combination of expert orthopedic surgeons, specialized rehabilitation protocols, and advanced imaging support ensures the best possible outcomes with minimal disruption to patients' lives.
PRIME Health is recognized as one of the region’s leading hospitals for orthopedic excellence. The Orthopedics (Bone, Joint Trauma Care) Department is staffed by highly experienced surgeons, many of whom are internationally trained and renowned for their skill in complex and minimally invasive knee surgeries.
PRIME Hospital utilizes the latest surgical technologies, including advanced arthroscopic knee surgery systems, high-resolution imaging, and computer-assisted navigation for precise alignment in knee replacement procedures. These tools ensure that procedures are both accurate and minimally invasive.
PRIME places a strong emphasis on individualized care. From pre-operative education to post-operative physiotherapy, every aspect of a patient’s journey is carefully managed. The hospital's holistic focus ensures not only clinical success but also emotional comfort and peace of mind.
One standout example of PRIME’s leadership in the field is its successful first bilateral knee replacement surgery, a milestone that demonstrated both surgical excellence and multidisciplinary collaboration. Such achievements underscore PRIME’s status as a pioneer in minimally invasive knee surgery across the UAE.
The orthopedic surgeons at PRIME work closely with anesthesiologists, physiotherapists, pain management experts, and rehabilitation specialists to offer seamless care before, during, and after knee surgery. This integrated care model supports faster recovery and better long-term results.
