Orthopedic Conditions We Treat
Meniscal Tears
This is a torn cartilage that is in the knee. I can be due to the normal aging process. When you hear a knee pop that may be a meniscus tear, which will start to hurt and swell.
Tendon Tears
This happens when tissues that connect the muscle to the bones tear. A common tendon tear can be a patellar tear.
Rotator Cuff Tear
Can happen over time due to repeated motion or can happen due to an acute injury such as a car accident. A rotator cuff tear happens when there is a tear in the muscle that surrounds the shoulder joint.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
These are tears in your knee that can happen due to quickly changing directions or a specific motion that can tear this ligament. Most of the time a tear to the ACL will require surgery.
