Knee Conditions & Treatments

Most commonly, patients experience ligament tears, sprains, dislocation, and fractures of the knee. Minor injuries can be treated with conservative techniques such as lifestyle change in the form of improved diet and exercise to lose weight, rest, anti-inflammatory medication, and, in some cases, physical therapy.

The knee is a complex hinge joint susceptible to injury and instability especially when patients are overweight and/or very active. Knee surgery is one of the most common orthopedic surgical treatments performed in the United States and around the world.

Fractures, ACL tears, significant meniscus tears, and other more significant knee injuries may require surgical intervention to restore movement and reduce pain. Longer-term degeneration due to wear and tear or osteoarthritis may require knee replacement surgery which uses artificial implants mimicking the knee joint to restore normal function and reduce pain.
