Unlike in other joints, the bones of the knee do not fit together well. The knee derives its stability, which is not intrinsic, from a very well developed capsuloligamentous apparatus. As a result, the majority of injuries are due to damage to the meniscal-ligamentous support system.

An increase in physical activity and sport has caused a parallel increase in the incidence of knee injuries. The knee has become a vulnerable joint, to the extent that anterior cruciate ligament injuries have become a national health problem. The knee has therefore become one of the most investigated joints in the musculoskeletal system.

HC Marbella’s Knee Unit is highly experienced in meniscal and cruciate ligament surgery.
