Knee Care

Total Knee Replacement

We remove all of the damaged cartilage and a small amount of bone around the joint. Then we replace the removed cartilage and bone with metal components to recreate the surface of the joints and insert a spacer. The advantages of our approach include:

1. Improved mobility
2. Less time spent in the hospital
3. May be performed as an outpatient procedure

Partial Knee Replacement

In unicompartmental knee replacement (also called “partial” knee replacement), only a portion of the knee is resurfaced. This procedure is an alternative to total knee replacement for patients whose condition is limited to part of the knee. The advantages of our approach include:

1. Improved mobility
2. Less time spent in the hospital
3. 99% are performed as an outpatient procedure

Knee Arthroscopy Surgery

We make a small incision around the joints to diagnose and treat the injury. This is a minimally-invasive procedure we have significant experience with. The advantages of our approach include:

1. Lower chance of bleeding and infection
2. Faster recovery
3. On-site post-surgery physical therapy
4. Physical therapists who work closely with the surgeon

Torn Meniscus Repair

We perform this procedure during a knee arthroscopy. This is a minimally-invasive procedure we have significant experience with. The advantages of our approach include:

1. Lower chance of bleeding and infection
2. Faster recovery
3. On-site post-surgery physical therapy
4. Physical therapists who work closely with the surgeon

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Surgery

We remove the torn ligament and replace it with a piece of tendon from another part of your knee or from a deceased donor. We perform this surgery as an outpatient procedure through small incisions around your knee joint. The advantages of our approach include:

1. Lower chance of bleeding and infection
2. Faster recovery
3. On-site post-surgery physical therapy
4. Physical therapists who work closely with the surgeon
5. Regional anesthesia for less pain
6. Nerve block catheters for less post-procedure pain

Torn Meniscus Repair

We perform this procedure during a knee arthroscopy. This is a minimally-invasive procedure we have significant experience with. The advantages of our approach include:

1. Lower chance of bleeding and infection
2. Faster recovery
3. On-site post-surgery physical therapy
4. Physical therapists who work closely with the surgeon

Cartilage Restoration Techniques

We repair or replace large pieces of cartilage the patient has lost. We can use the Osteoarticular Transfer System (OATS) to transplant bone and cartilage from a donor into the defect. These have positive outcomes when caught early.

Complex Multi-Ligament Repairs and Reconstructions

We use an individualized treatment plan based on your needs and your body to successfully repair or reconstruct multiple ligament knee injuries. These often include Lateral Cruciate Ligaments (LCL), Medial Cruciate Ligaments (MCL), Anterior Cruciate Ligaments (ACL), quadricep tendons, and patella tendons.

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction (MPFL)

We can perform this during a knee arthroscopy. It’s common for patients with a chronically dislocated kneecap. The surgeon replaces the torn ligament with a tendon from the hamstring or donor tissue.
