Discover the knee injuries and conditions we treat, from
meniscus tears to early arthritis, with advanced, joint-preserving orthopedic care.
Your knees do a lot for you — from walking and climbing stairs to running, jumping, and simply enjoying an active life. When pain, swelling, or instability get in the way, you deserve more than a quick fix. At The Joint Preservation Center, our surgeons focus on preserving your natural joint whenever possible — repairing tissue instead of removing it, restoring function instead of replacing the joint.
Below, you’ll find the most common knee problems we diagnose and treat, explained in simple terms.
The meniscus is a C-shaped cushion of cartilage inside your knee that acts as a shock absorber. Tears are common in athletes or after twisting injuries — but they can also occur with age. Our team specializes in arthroscopic meniscus repair, including advanced root and complex tear repairs, helping you keep your natural meniscus and avoid early arthritis.
We treat:
Ligaments keep your knee stable. When one or more are torn, the knee may feel unstable or “give out.” We perform minimally invasive reconstructions and biologic-assisted repairs to restore strength and confidence in your knee.
We treat:
The cartilage on the ends of your bones allows smooth movement. When it’s damaged, even small defects can cause pain and swelling. Our surgeons use advanced techniques such as cartilage restoration, microfracture, and biologic implants to repair and regrow healthy cartilage.
We treat:
Pain in the front of the knee is often linked to the patella (kneecap) not tracking properly. Our approach combines biomechanics, muscle balance, and — when necessary — minimally invasive surgery to restore proper alignment.
We treat:
Repetitive stress or training errors can inflame the tendons and soft tissues around your knee. We help athletes and active adults recover through targeted therapy, biologic injections, and when needed, precise surgical repair.
We treat:
If your legs are slightly bow-legged or knock-kneed, it can overload one side of your knee and wear down cartilage unevenly. We use advanced imaging and 3D analysis to correct these problems before they cause long-term damage.
We treat:
When knee degeneration begins, it doesn’t always mean you need a joint replacement. With early intervention, there are ways to slow or even reverse joint damage. We use non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments — like biologic injections, cartilage resurfacing, and realignment procedures — to relieve pain and keep your natural knee functioning for years to come.
We treat:
From weekend warriors to professional athletes, our goal is to get you back to doing what you love — safely and confidently.
We treat:
We don’t just treat symptoms — we find the root cause. Our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons specialize in joint preservation: using cutting-edge arthroscopic, biologic, and alignment techniques to help you heal naturally and maintain long-term joint health.
Whether your goal is to walk pain-free, return to sports, or avoid a knee replacement, our personalized approach focuses on restoring your function and preserving your future mobility.
If you’re experiencing knee pain, catching, locking, or swelling — or if you’ve been told you “need a knee replacement” — you may still have options to preserve your joint. Request an appointment with one of our knee specialists today to explore the best treatment plan for you.
