Knee and Joint
As our body’s largest joint, our knees are very complex and susceptible to different types of injuries. Athletes in particular are at risk of knee issues. The knee injury might be the result of chronic, repetitive use or an acute, traumatic injury like a fall.
One of the most common knee injuries is the dreaded ACL tear of the knee. ACL stands for anterior cruciate ligament. A forceful pivot of the knee, common in contact sports, usually causes this damage.
Other knee ligaments may be injured as well, requiring repair or reconstruction. This surgery is often done on an outpatient basis, which means you will not need to stay overnight in the hospital. The goal of ACL surgery is to restore normal or nearly normal stability of the knee (compared to what you had before your injury). Our goal is that our patients can return to the active, healthy lifestyle they’re passionate about.

Your Knee and Joint Procedure
Our Joint Replacement program brings together skilled surgeons and specially trained nurses, therapists, and technicians to provide seamless, coordinated care. An orthopedic care coordinator oversees the program and patient outcomes. Each patient receives a comprehensive binder explaining their upcoming surgery. Pre-operative classes prepare you for your surgery and your recovery process. Patients designate a “coach” to be an active part of their care. Daily newsletters alert patients on their schedule for the day. We monitor your recovery through each step and help you continually improve so you can get back to what’s important.
