Total Knee Replacement

Total knee replacement surgery is a life-changing procedure for individuals with severe arthritis or joint damage. This surgery replaces the damaged surfaces of your knee joint with durable, high-performing implants, reducing pain and restoring mobility.

  • Designed for long-lasting relief from chronic knee pain.
  • Individualized treatment plans tailored to your activity level and goals.

Our team includes some of the top knee replacement surgeons in Portland, Oregon. Using innovative techniques, we ensure optimal recovery so you can focus on what matters most in your life.

ACL Injuries

For active individuals, ACL injuries can be a significant setback, keeping you away from the activities you enjoy most. We offer treatment options specifically designed to address your needs and help you return to your active lifestyle:

  • Non-Surgical Rehabilitation: For less severe injuries, physical therapy focuses on strengthening the surrounding muscles, improving joint stability, and enhancing overall knee function. This option is ideal for those looking to avoid surgery while still achieving a strong recovery.
  • Surgical Reconstruction: For severe ACL tears, reconstruction surgery uses grafts to repair and restore the damaged ligament. This procedure is aimed at helping you regain full function, mobility, and confidence in your knee, ensuring you can return to high-impact activities.
  • Custom Recovery Plans: We create tailored recovery strategies that match your activity level and personal goals, providing you with the safest and most effective way to get back to the sports or hobbies you love.

Meniscal Tears

Meniscal tears, whether caused by a sudden sports injury or gradual wear-and-tear, can lead to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. Our team offers advanced solutions to help you recover faster and stay in motion:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: Using state-of-the-art arthroscopic techniques, we can repair or trim the damaged meniscus with precision. These procedures are designed to reduce pain, minimize scarring, and ensure quicker recovery times, so you can get back to your routine faster.
  • Physical Therapy: For non-surgical treatment, physical therapy strengthens the muscles around the knee, restores range of motion, and improves overall joint stability. This approach is ideal for partial tears or when surgery isn’t required.
  • Personalized Care: We thoroughly assess the severity of your tear, your activity level, and your long-term goals to recommend the best course of action, ensuring that your treatment is as effective and tailored as possible.

Knee Arthritis

Knee arthritis can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, making everyday activities challenging. Our personalized treatments are designed to relieve your symptoms and improve your quality of life:

  • Non-Surgical Options: These include a combination of physical therapy to strengthen the joint, anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain and swelling, and injections like corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid to provide targeted relief. These options can help manage symptoms effectively without surgery.
  • Partial Knee Replacement: For arthritis confined to one specific area of the knee, this procedure targets only the affected portion while preserving the healthy parts of the joint. It offers pain relief with a shorter recovery time compared to total knee replacement.
  • Total Knee Replacement: For advanced arthritis that impacts the entire joint, this procedure replaces the damaged knee with a prosthetic joint. It’s a comprehensive solution aimed at restoring mobility, reducing pain, and allowing you to return to an active lifestyle.
  • Ongoing Support: Our team is dedicated to managing your arthritis at every stage. We provide continuous support and guidance to help you maintain mobility, reduce discomfort, and optimize your overall quality of life.
