Surgical Procedures : Knee

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is performed to repair a tear in a stabilizing ligament of the knee connecting the thighbone to the shinbone. Once torn, the ACL unravels like braided rope and does not heal on its own. Fortunately, reconstruction surgery helps many patients recover full function. Reconstruction procedures may also be performed on the PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) and the MCL (medial collateral ligament) of the knee.

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a procedure in which a camera or arthroscope is inserted into the knee joint through small incisions, enabling the surgeon to view, diagnose and treat the knee. Knee arthroscopy (also called a “scope”) may be used to investigate problems, treat conditions such as arthritis and inflammation, take small samples of tissue or repair damage to tissues and cartilage.

Manipulation Under Anesthesia

Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA) is a joint-mobilization technique in which a physician manipulates or forces the knee joint to move while a patient is sedated under anesthesia. This process causes the adhesions and/or scar tissue that have formed in the joint to break up. There is no actual surgery involved, meaning that incisions are not made when the manipulation is performed.

TKA

TKA (total knee arthroplasty), also known as total knee replacement, is a surgical procedure in which the diseased knee joint is replaced with artificial material. These metal and plastic implants realign the bones so that weight passing through the knee is normally distributed. TKA is considered for patients whose knee joints have been damaged by progressive arthritis, trauma or other rare destructive diseases of the joint. The most common reason for knee replacement in the United States is severe osteoarthritis of the knee.
