KNEE SURGERY
WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF KNEE SURGERY?
The knee is a complex hinge-type joint that bears tremendous pressure during all weight-bearing activity. Competitive athletes, weekend warriors, and casual strollers alike depend upon a smooth, pain-free range of motion of the knee joint for optimal function.
When nonsurgical treatments fail to provide long-term pain relief, knee surgery can alleviate pain and restore mobility. Dr. Wusu provides his patients with personalized care and utilizes the most advanced and minimally invasive surgical techniques whenever possible.
Dr. Wusu has extensive experience treating knee injuries and is a leading specialist on the latest arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Wusu is also highly-skilled in addressing issues that affect the ligaments of your knee.
WHAT IS ARTHROSCOPIC KNEE SURGERY?
Arthroscopic surgery is used to diagnose and treat many different knee problems, and this significant advance in joint care allows for a rapid return to improved activity.
Knee arthroscopy may relieve the painful symptoms caused by many conditions that damage the cartilage surfaces and other soft tissues surrounding the joint.
While you’re under general anesthesia, Dr. Wusu makes a few small incisions for the thin arthroscopic camera, as well as for the narrow surgical instruments. Your surgery and treatment plan will be tailored to your specific injury or condition.
