The knee joint is the largest joint in the human body and is exposed to high stress daily. Whether sudden sports injuries, chronic pain due to wear and tear, or misalignments like patellar dislocation – proper treatment requires expertise and state-of-the-art medical techniques.

At Munich Airport Clinic, you are in the best hands. Our experienced knee specialists in Munich offer a comprehensive range of treatments, focusing on surgical therapy for knee conditions. We specialize in arthroscopic and minimally invasive procedures to relieve pain, restore mobility, and minimize recovery time.

Here, we provide an overview of our treatment options and explain when knee surgery in Munich may be necessary.

The knee undergoes immense daily stress from walking, running, jumping, or climbing stairs. Pain or restricted movement can be early signs of an underlying issue that, if left untreated, may cause long-term damage. But when is the right time to consult a knee specialist in Munich?

Typical Warning Signs That Require Action:

  • Knee pain – especially during activity or at rest
  • Limited movement – difficulty bending, stretching, or climbing stairs
  • Instability and weakness – feeling like the knee might “give out”
  • Clicking or grinding sounds – possible signs of cartilage damage
  • Swelling and inflammation – often accompanied by joint warmth

In many cases, knee problems can be effectively managed with conservative treatments, such as physiotherapy or injection therapy. However, if symptoms worsen, structural damage occurs, or persistent pain remains, surgical intervention may be necessary. At our knee surgery center in Munich, we perform minimally invasive procedures to restore joint function as effectively as possible.

STEP BY STEP

Knee Surgery in Munich: Procedure and Process

A knee surgery is a significant step, but thanks to modern, minimally invasive techniques, procedures are now far less invasive, leading to faster recovery times. At Munich Airport Clinic, we focus on precise planning, advanced surgical techniques, and structured aftercare to ensure optimal recovery and long-term success.

Overview of Your Knee Surgery Process:

  1. Comprehensive Pre-Examination & Surgery Planning
    Before every surgery, we conduct a detailed analysis of your knee joint using advanced imaging techniques such as MRI, CT, or X-ray. Based on this, our knee specialists in Munich develop a personalized surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and specific condition.
  2. Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery
    Whenever possible, we perform knee surgeries arthroscopically. This technique allows us to examine and operate on the joint using small incisions and a camera. It reduces the risk of infections, minimizes impact on surrounding tissues, and enables a faster recovery.
  3. Hospital Stay
    Most knee surgeries can be performed on an outpatient basis or with a short inpatient stay. Our modern operating rooms and comfortable patient areas at Munich Airport provide optimal care for both privately and publicly insured patients.
  4. Rehabilitation & Aftercare
    Following surgery, you will receive a customized aftercare plan with specific rehabilitation measures. Our goal: to restore your mobility as quickly as possible, whether for daily life, work, or sports.

When is Knee Surgery Necessary?

Surgery is primarily considered when:

  • Conservative treatments no longer provide sufficient relief
  • Pain and mobility restrictions significantly affect daily life
  • Structural damage, such as meniscus tears or cruciate ligament injuries, is present
  • Progressive cartilage wear (osteoarthritis) causes persistent discomfort

Our knee specialists in Munich provide comprehensive consultations, offering clear and transparent guidance on when surgery is the best option for you.
