Private cartilage repair will typically run GBP 10-15k. That's based on numbers I was given 6-7 years ago (e.g. For AMIC, a single scope procedure)
I'm still amazed by how well the recovery is progressing compared to my two other knee key hole surgeries. These were far simpler, but both times I had for weeks a lot of "pain", "redness", "soreness" post surgery. Of course it will take at least 6 to 12 months before I know if the last surgery was successful, but a smooth recovery does help to stay positive :-)
Knees, especially PF and cartilage repair (and hips which isn't unusual for a knee surgeon here)https://www.spirehealthcare.com/consultant-profiles/professor-anan-shetty-c3444306/
To me it seems his main interest is helping people with cartilage issues. He is in favor of less invasive methods. If you still have knee pain, you can always visit him to talk about your concern.
Week 8: Being a bit more mobile increases the occasional sharp pain shoots in the knee. Maybe I should take it down a notch. Otherwise it is ok, I can stand for 30 min and walk for 15 min all without much problems. The skin is still sensitive to touch and the knee is still swollen and a bit warm, but not red.
