Advanced Knee Replacement & Preservation
Experience world-class orthopedic care with Mr. Kenan Dehne. Specializing in fast recovery protocols, robotic-assisted surgery, and innovative joint preservation techniques to get you back to your active lifestyle.
Innovative Approaches to Enhance
Recovery
Mr. Dehne’s approach to fast recovery in joint replacement surgery was influenced by his training inItaly with Professor Henrik Kehlet, the father of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS).
Following deep discussion, Mr. Dehne developed a framework based on his Fast Recovery Principles (FRR). These principles focus on minimizing physiological stress and maximizing early mobility.

Total vs. Partial Knee Replacement
Every patient is unique. Mr. Dehne provides tailored solutions, opting for joint-sparing "partial" replacements whenever clinical conditions allow, resulting in faster recovery and a more natural feel.
Partial Replacement
Only replaces the damaged compartment. Preserves healthy ligaments, leading to a faster return to sport.
Total Replacement
Comprehensive solution for multi-compartmental arthritis. Advanced materials for longevity and stability.
Understanding Knee Anatomy
Knowledge is the first step in a successful recovery. Explore the complex structures that make your knee one of the most remarkable joints in the human body.
SKELETAL STRUCTURE
Bones of the Knee
The knee is a hinge joint formed by the Femur (thighbone) and Tibia (shinbone). The Patella (kneecap) slides in a groove in the front of the femur.
The Fibula is the thinner bone of the lower leg, providing support and attachment points for ligaments but not bearing primary body weight.
Cartilage & Menisci
Articular cartilage provides a white, shiny, slippery layer that facilitates easy movement.
The Menisci act as shock absorbers, spreading the weight of the upper body across the tibia surface. The Menisci act as shock absorbers, spreading the weight of the upper body across the tibia surface.
The Ligament Network
Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bone to bone, providing the vital stability required for complex movements.
STABILITY
ACL & PCL (Cruciate) control the back and forth motion.
SUPPORT
MCL & LCL (Collateral) prevent side to side movement.
Muscles
The Quadriceps at the front straighten the knee, while the Hamstrings at the back enable bending. Healthy muscle tone is critical for post-op recovery.
Tendons
The Patellar Tendon connects the kneecap to the shinbone, acting as a powerful lever for the quadriceps to extend the leg.
Synovial Fluid
A thick clear fluid that lubricates and nourishes the cartilage, ensuring that articulating surfaces glide smoothly without friction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our FAQs cover consultations, treatments, referrals, recovery, and appointments helping you find the information you need before your visit.
01 How long until I can return to sport?
The time to return to sport depends on the type of injury, the treatment you receive, and your individual recovery. Some patients can resume light activities within a few weeks, while returning to high-impact sports after procedures such as ACL reconstruction or joint replacement may take several months. Mr. Kenan Dehne will provide a personalised rehabilitation plan and advise when it is safe to return to your chosen sport.
02 When can i drive?
The time it takes to return to driving depends on the type of surgery or treatment you have received, your recovery, and which leg was affected. You should only drive when you can safely control the vehicle, perform an emergency stop comfortably, and are no longer taking medication that could impair your ability to drive. Mr. Kenan Dehne will advise you when it is safe to resume driving based on your individual recovery.
03 WIll my insurance cover this?
Most major private health insurance providers cover eligible consultations, investigations, and surgical procedures, subject to the terms of your policy. We recommend contacting your insurer before treatment to confirm your level of cover, obtain any required pre-authorisation, and check whether there are any excess charges or exclusions.
04 What happens after my consultation?
After your consultation, Mr. Kenan Dehne will discuss your diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan. Depending on your condition, this may include further imaging, physiotherapy, injections, or surgery. If treatment is required, our team will explain the next steps, arrange any necessary appointments, and support you throughout your care journey.
