Minimally invasive total hip replacement

Mr Ganapathi offers a modified and refined minimally invasive technique, using special instruments to perform the majority of hip replacements through an incision approximately 7cm to 10cm long. Exposure is not compromised in any way and the patient still experiences the benefits associated with less soft tissue dissection.

Expert knee arthroscopy

Mr Ganapathi is skilled in the use of knee arthroscopy to investigate the cause of knee pain and problems such as locking and swelling. A thin fibre-optic tube is introduced into the knee joint via a small incision, sending back images to a monitor screen. As well as being a diagnostic tool, knee arthroscopy has a therapeutic role. Small instruments can be inserted through further small incisions to carry out procedures such as repairing meniscal tears and removing loose pieces of cartilage and bone.

What patients say about Muthu Ganapathi

Mr Ganapathi deserves recognition after the success I’ve had following my knee operations. Mr Ganapathi and his team were brilliant. I am really indebted to them. I have absolutely no pain and I feel like a new woman – and that’s me at 85! I read about Mr Ganapthi’s knee operations in the paper. We are all afraid of operations and I had doubts but I thought no I’ve got to do this. I’m very happy with the results and I’m very happy I’ve gone down this route.
