Its main function is to protect the cartilage joint surfaces from force and load. The outer third has blood flow; the inner two thirds are avascular.

“I would recommend Mr. Barkatali because, for one, he tells you all about what's going to happen. For two, the aftercare is good. And for three, he's a brilliant surgeon.“

Bashar Al Turk

“As an international trampoline gymnast, my knee injury affected far more than everyday life; it threatened a huge part of who I am and what I’ve worked towards for years. Mr Barkatali understood that from day one, and I feel incredibly fortunate he was my surgeon. His skill and expertise were exceptional, and I felt in the best possible hands. His reassurance, honesty and genuine care made an enormous difference. He understood that my goal wasn’t simply to recover, but to return to competing internationally. Being back training means more than I can put into words. I’m forever grateful to Mr Barkatali for his impact on my career and life.”

“I'm really lucky now because I can do everything that I could do before the problems arose. I'm also a really good example for anybody out there who's nervous about exercising post-surgery that actually you can get back to where you were”
