Knee Pain Q&A
What causes knee pain?
Knee pain can affect anyone of any age. Some of the leading causes of knee pain include:
- Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
- Meniscus tears
- Iliotibial band syndrome
- Osteoarthritis
- Bursitis
- Issues in the hip or foot
Clearly, a wide variety of factors can contribute to pain in your knee. If you feel discomfort when you put weight on your knee, have trouble straightening it, hear a clicking sound as you move, or feel instability in your knee, don’t hesitate to reserve an appointment.
Your provider assesses your knee pain using the right diagnostic tools and procedures to determine what’s causing your knee pain. Then they discuss your knee pain treatment options with you.
How is knee pain treated?
The way knee pain is treated depends on the root cause of your pain. Common conditions include meniscus tears, ligament tears, cartilage injuries, and osteoarthritis. Some of the treatments that may be recommended for your knee pain include:
- Physical therapy
- injections
- Changes to your daily activities
- Medication
- Surgery
Your provider discusses each option that would be effective for your knee pain and lets you know what level of pain relief you can expect with each.
If surgery is the right option for you, OrthoTeam Clinic offers a variety of surgical treatments, including:
- Meniscus repair
- Meniscal root repair
- Meniscus transplant
- ACL reconstruction
- Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction
- Other types of ligament reconstruction
- Cartilage restoration
- Custom knee replacement
Your provider tells you what type of procedure will best address the root cause of your knee pain and bring you relief.
What is knee arthroscopy?
In addition to open surgery, OrthoTeam Clinic offers knee arthroscopy. During an arthroscopic procedure, your surgeon only needs to make a small incision or a series of small incisions in your knee. He then uses an arthroscope — a thin, flexible instrument with a camera at the end — to access the surgery site through the tiny incision.
With arthroscopic surgery, this minimally invasive treatment can lead to quicker recovery with less pain.
