  • Hip & Knee Replacement Surgery is a highly effective procedure designed to relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life when joint damage, from arthritis or injury that interferes with daily movement. Dr Elie Khoury uses the latest techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery, to ensure precise results and a smoother recovery.

    This surgery can help relieve:

    • Persistent joint pain, even at rest

    • Stiffness that limits movement

    • Difficulty walking or climbing stairs

    • Swelling and inflammation that doesn’t improve with other treatments

    With expert care, patients often return to an active and pain-free lifestyle. Resuming activities they enjoy.

  • Revision Surgery is a specialised procedure performed when a previous hip or knee replacement has worn out, become unstable, infected, or is no longer functioning as it should. Dr Elie Khoury has extensive experience in complex revision surgeries, using advanced techniques to restore joint stability and function while addressing underlying issues.

    Revision surgery can help relieve:

    • Persistent or returning joint pain after a previous replacement

    • Loosening or instability of the joint implant

    • Infection around the joint

    • Reduced mobility or joint function over time

    This surgery aims to restore confidence in movement and improve long-term joint health.

  • Knee Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside the knee joint using a small camera and specialised instruments. Dr Elie Khoury performs knee arthroscopy to repair or remove damaged tissue with minimal disruption, allowing for faster recovery and less postoperative pain.

    Knee arthroscopy can help relieve:

    • Locking, catching, or clicking in the knee

    • Ongoing pain from cartilage or meniscus tears

    • Swelling caused by inflammation or loose fragments

    • Limited range of motion due to internal knee damage

    It's often an effective solution for active individuals needing targeted relief without major surgery.

  • ACL Reconstruction is a surgical procedure to rebuild a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a key stabiliser of the knee. Often injured during sports or sudden twisting movements, a torn ACL can lead to instability and long-term damage if untreated. Dr Elie Khoury uses advanced techniques to restore knee strength, function, and stability—helping patients return to active lifestyles safely.

    ACL reconstruction can help relieve:

    • Knee instability or “giving way” during movement

    • Pain or discomfort with physical activity

    • Loss of confidence in the knee’s strength and control

    • Limited ability to return to sports or exercise

    The goal is a strong, stable knee that supports your long-term mobility and performance.
