Considering knee surgery? Arrange a second opinion

Conditions treated.

Everything below is the knee, and only the knee. Each page explains what the problem is, when surgery is and is not the answer, and what recovery looks like.

Ligament injuries

ACL, multi-ligament and anterolateral reconstruction

An ACL tear is a rotation problem, not just a torn rope.

Meniscus

Repair first, remove only when repair is not possible

The meniscus is the knee's shock absorber. Removing it is a decision, not a default.

Cartilage

Restoration and regenerative options

Cartilage does not heal on its own. Some defects can be restored.

Kneecap instability

Patellofemoral instability

A kneecap that dislocates once will often do it again. The second time is avoidable.

Alignment and osteotomy

Femoral and tibial osteotomy

If the leg is bent, the knee is overloaded on one side. Straightening the leg can save the joint.

Arthritis and knee replacement

Partial, robotic-assisted and total replacement

Replace what is worn. Keep what is not.
