Your knees are pivotal to nearly every movement, from walking and running to sitting and standing. When knee pain or injury occurs, it can severely hinder your ability to live an active and fulfilling life. At The Orthopedic Partners, our team of expert knee specialists is dedicated to providing the highest standard of care to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to your daily activities with confidence.

A Look at Knee Anatomy

The knee is a complex joint that connects the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia), with the kneecap (patella) protecting the front of the joint. Supported by muscles, tendons, and ligaments, the knee allows for a range of movements, including bending, straightening, and rotation. Due to its complexity and the stress it endures, the knee is prone to various injuries and degenerative conditions.

Common Knee Conditions We Treat

At The Orthopedic Partners, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of knee conditions, including:

  • ACL Tears: One of the most common knee injuries, an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear often occurs during sports activities. Our specialists provide advanced surgical and non-surgical options to restore stability and function.
  • Meniscus Tears: The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a cushion between the femur and tibia. Tears to the meniscus can result in pain, swelling, and limited movement, often requiring surgical intervention.
  • Osteoarthritis: This degenerative joint disease affects the cartilage in the knee, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. We offer comprehensive care to manage osteoarthritis and improve quality of life.
  • Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome: Commonly known as "runner's knee," this condition causes pain around the kneecap and is often exacerbated by activity. Our team provides targeted treatments to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence.
  • Ligament Injuries: In addition to ACL tears, injuries to other ligaments in the knee, such as the MCL (medial collateral ligament) and PCL (posterior cruciate ligament), are treated with a personalized approach to ensure optimal recovery.

Innovative Treatment Options

We believe in providing personalized care tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Our comprehensive treatment options include:

  • Conservative Management: Many knee conditions can be effectively treated with non-surgical approaches, including physical therapy, bracing, anti-inflammatory medications, and corticosteroid injections.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: When surgery is necessary, our specialists utilize minimally invasive techniques, such as knee arthroscopy, to treat conditions like meniscus tears and ligament injuries with reduced recovery time and less post-operative discomfort.
  • Joint Preservation and Reconstruction: For patients with advanced conditions, our surgeons offer joint preservation procedures and reconstruction techniques, including osteotomies and cartilage repair, to restore knee function and delay the need for joint replacement.
  • Knee Replacement Surgery: In cases of severe arthritis or complex injuries, knee replacement surgery may be the best option. Our team is skilled in both partial and total knee replacement, using the latest technology, including robotics, to ensure precise and successful outcomes.
