Knee Surgery & Procedures

Knee surgery addresses injuries or conditions unresponsive to conservative treatments, restoring function and alleviating pain. Common procedures include arthroscopy (minimally invasive repair of torn meniscus, ligaments, or cartilage), ACL reconstruction (graft replacement of ruptured ligaments), and partial/total knee replacement for severe arthritis or fractures. Osteotomy realigns bones to reduce joint stress, while meniscectomy removes damaged cartilage. Surgeons use advanced techniques like robotics or image-guided systems for precision. Recovery varies: arthroscopy may need weeks, while joint replacements require months of rehab. Risks include infection, blood clots, or stiffness. Post-surgery, physical therapy is vital to regain mobility and strength. Personalized treatment plans prioritize patient goals, whether returning to sports or improving daily comfort. Early intervention often enhances outcomes, preventing long-term joint degeneration.
