Knee Surgical Options

If you are considering knee surgery, you’ve come to the right place. The St. Elizabeth Total Joint Center is a nationally recognized orthopedic institution, offering personalized, top-notch care to each of our patients.

Our Orthopaedic team will examine your knee and discuss treatment options with you, typically starting with non-surgical options. If those treatment options have been exhausted and aren’t providing the pain relief you need, it’s time to consider knee surgery. The St. Elizabeth Total Joint Center offers multiple knee surgery options and will work with you to determine which option is the best fit.

Knee surgery

Many knee injuries are a result of trauma or movement related activities such as gardening, playing sports or running.

  • ACL
  • Arthroscopy – A minimally invasive procedure where a small camera is inserted into the knee joint via a small incision. Knee arthroscopy allows for greater visualization of the knee, and repair of many types of pathology. These include lesions of the meniscus (knee cartilage), and injuries to the ligaments.

  • Meniscus

  • MCL

  • Patella

  • PCL
