Knee Microfracture Surgery For Cartilage Restoration
Microfracture surgery is used to stimulate the growth of new articular cartilage by creating a new blood supply. Your surgeon will use an awl to make multiple holes in the bone where new blood and cells will reach the joint surface to form new cartilage.
Meniscus Repair
Orthopaedic surgeons use miniature cameras and surgical instruments to view the inside of the knee and trim or repair the tear. Some meniscus tears can be repaired by stitching the torn pieces together and allowing them ample recovery time.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction
A ruptured ACL may be reconstructed with a graft. During this procedure, the torn ACL is removed and the graft is inserted through holes that your surgeon drills in the shinbone and thighbone.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) reconstruction
Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction
Most isolated collateral ligament injuries can be successfully treated with a brace and physiotherapy. If the collateral ligament is torn in a way that cannot be healed or is affecting surrounding structures, you may require reconstructive surgery.
Knee Realignment Procedures (Osteotomy)
Osteotomy means “cutting of the bone” and is used in the knee when a patient has early-stage osteoarthritis. Knee realignments are successful in transferring weight, correcting alignment and prolonging the lifespan of the joint.
Total Knee Replacement with Computer Navigation
Total knee replacements are effective procedures at reducing pain for degenerative joint diseases. Your orthopaedic surgeon will remove the damaged cartilage and bone, and then position the new implants to resurface the bones and restore the function of your knee.
Revision Knee Replacement
Tibial Plateau Fracture Fixation
Depending on the severity of your tibial plateau fracture, your surgeon may suggest either internal or external fixation surgery to hold the alignment of the broken bones in place while they heal.
ACL reconstruction has an average success rate of 85-95%. However, if the ACL graft procedure fails for any reason, then it may be necessary to perform a revision ACL reconstruction to restore stability.
