Specialties

An orthopedic surgeon treats injuries, diseases, and disorders of the muscular and skeletal systems, including those of the joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. They use their knowledge of anatomy and specialized equipment to restore or make changes to the inside of the body.

Patellofemoral Syndrome

This typically results from wear of the under-surface cartilage on the knee cap. Pain often becomes worse navigating stairs or jumping (which increases forces through the knee cap). Physical therapy can be helpful (especially with inner-thigh muscle strengthening) to help prevent the kneecap from sliding to the outside.

Prepatellar Bursitis

This is inflammation of a fluid-filled sack in the front of the knee. These sacks (bursa) are normal throughout the body and serve as a lubricant between skin, bone and muscle. When the sacks become inflamed, the recommendation is to avoid mechanical irritation (such as hitting it on things) and take anti-inflammatory medications.

Osgood Schlotter

This is a self-limiting condition where there is pain below the knee cap of an active adolescent. It is thought to result from overuse of the knee with constant pulling on the growth plate where the knee cap tendon attaches to the tibia (shin bone). It usually goes away with decreased activity and use of anti- inflammatory medications.

Dislocated Knee Cap

When a patient describes a knee dislocation, it is often a patella (knee cap) dislocation. Typically the kneecap slides to the outside of the knee and usually goes back into place on its own. If it is the first time this has happened (and there are no loose fragments in the knee), then treatment is non-surgical.

ACL Tear

The ACL is a bone-to-bone connection between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone) that helps prevent sliding of the tibia when twisting or changing direction while running. Anterior cruciate ligament injuries typically occur with a “plant and twist” mechanism, so there does not have to be contact from another athlete.

MCL Tear

The medial collateral ligament connects the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone) on the inner side of the knee. It’s typically torn when the knee is buckled toward the opposite knee. This is rarely treated with surgery since it heals well on its own. The most difficult thing in the first few weeks is stiffness of the knee.

PCL Tear

The PCL is a bone-to-bone connection between the thigh bone and shin bone, which helps prevent backward sliding of the shin bone. Posterior cruciate injuries are typically sustained during a force on the front of the shin bone pushing backwards (such as a dashboard against the knee during a car accident).
