THE KNEE PRACTICE
Pain that builds slowly, a knee that gives way after sport and arthritis that limits ordinary walking can feel equally disruptive—but they do not lead down the same clinical route.
Prof. Hanna’s knee practice in Abu Dhabi brings specialist assessment, examination and appropriate imaging together before treatment is discussed. Care spans knee arthritis, meniscus and cartilage injuries, ACL and ligament problems, arthroscopic knee surgery, partial and total knee replacement, robotic-assisted knee replacement, and complex or revision knee replacement.
