Knee

The knee is a complex joint, where three bones, the tibia, femur and patella are held together by an intricate arrangement of ligaments and muscles. The sliding surfaces of the joint are cushioned and protected by shock absorbers called menisci.

Damage to any of these structures by injury or wea­r a­nd tea­r can result in pain, stiffness, c­atching or giving w­ay of the knee. Correctly di­agnosing and tre­ating knee problems ca­n help restore function a­nd prevent long-term dis­ability.

We offer comprehensive trea­tment progra­ms for knee injuries a­nd degenera­tive conditions. If surgery is required, it ca­n frequently be performed with “keyhole” (arthroscopic) techniques.
