Welcome to DKC ( Droitwich Knee Clinic )

In 1988, the Droitwich Knee Clinic was formed under the directorship of Mr. Angus Strover FRCS, as a specialist centre for the diagnosis and treatment of knee disorders.Today, it is administered by a group of his fellow consultants. As Knee/Shoulder specialists we are able to treat across all age groups. As experts in our chosen field we offer a unique service to both the professional and amateur sportsman, middle aged or older people with degenerative conditions.

There are no boundaries to our areas of referral, with many patients coming from all over the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, Europe and the Middle East.

Our specialist Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons Kirti Moholkar and Mohi El-Shazlyand Chartered Physiotherapist Lesley Hall have successfully treated innumerable patients over the years and continue to do so. Many health professionals such as General Practitioners, Sports Physicians and Therapists regularly refer patients to us for diagnosis and treatment whilst co-operating with us in the post-operative stage. Many patients come to us for Physiotherapy treatment only, as not all our patients require surgery. Our on-site diagnosis investigation procedures include MRI Scanning, XRays, Ultrasound Imaging, Electrocardiograms, KT2000 Ligament Testing together with comprehensive laboratory back-up. This facility offers the patient a unique ‘one-stop’ diagnosis which avoids the need for recurrent consultations before a final diagnosis is reached.

Patient choice is paramount and we realise that arrangements have to be made to fit around work and family life. Our flexible approach gives patients the choice of convenience. Patients undergoing minimal invasive surgery can be accommodated as day cases and dependent on the patients needs, an overnight hospital stay may be advised. Total knee replacement patients are usually discharged between 3-5 days after the operation.

Urgent cases can normally be accommodated within 24 hours and initial consultation with one of our Surgeons or Physiotherapists is usually within a few days. However, should subsequent surgery be necessary this can be arranged at short notice. Elective surgery such as Ligament reconstruction, Knee replacements and Osteotomies can be given a firm booking at the time of the initial diagnosis.

The final cost of the operation including hospital costs, Anaesthetists and Surgeons fees together with an estimation as to rehabilitation and follow-up appointments can be supplied from our accounts department upon request.

Why DKC?

Our particular areas of surgical expertise are the following:

Repair of menisci. Repair rather than unnecessary removal preserves and protects the knee from wear and tear in the active individual.

Repair of joint surface cartilage defects using autologous cartilage cell implantation techniques (ACI).
The comprehensive investigation and treatment of anterior knee pain.
