Procedures Offered

Knee Replacement ACL Surgery Meniscus Arthroscopy Cartilage

Knee Replacement

Total knee replacement (arthroplasty) replaces damaged cartilage and bone with metal and plastic components. The procedure relieves chronic pain and restores mobility for patients with severe arthritis or injury. Modern implants last 20-25 years with a 95%+ success rate.

Success rate: 95%+ | Implant lifespan: 20-25 years | Recovery: 3-6 months

ACL Reconstruction

ACL reconstruction replaces a torn anterior cruciate ligament using a tissue graft from the patient or donor. This arthroscopic procedure restores knee stability and allows return to sports and active lifestyles. Most patients return to full activity within 6-9 months.

Success rate: 90-95% | Return to sport: 6-9 months | Technique: Arthroscopic

Cartilage Restoration

Cartilage restoration procedures regenerate or replace damaged knee cartilage to prevent or delay joint replacement. Options include microfracture, OATS (osteochondral autograft), ACI (autologous chondrocyte implantation), and newer scaffold-based techniques.

Best for: Active patients under 50 | Recovery: 4-9 months | Goal: Delay replacement

Knee Arthroscopy

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure using a tiny camera and instruments through small incisions. It can diagnose and treat multiple conditions including cartilage damage, loose bodies, and inflammation. Patients typically go home the same day.

Incision size: 5mm | Outpatient: Yes | Recovery: 1-6 weeks depending on procedure
