Knee

The knee is one of the most complex and the largest joints in the human body. The knee connects the upper leg bone to the lower leg bone. We rely on the bones, cartilage and ligaments that make up the knees and the muscles that support them to work together seamlessly, allowing us to perform everyday movements without pain. Cartilage covers the ends of both leg bones and the underside of the patella, or knee cap.

The knee joint, also known as tibiofemoral joint, is essential for everyday activities because it allows flexible movement of the lower leg while supporting the entire body and its weight. As a result of the constant pressure it bears, the knee is vulnerable and prone to injuries.

When a disease or injury disturbs the normal functioning of the knee, it can result in pain, muscle weakness and limited movement. Whether you’re a professional athlete, a weekend warrior or simply an active individual, at NYC Orthopedic Group’ Center in NYC you’ll find personalized and expert care for all knee-related conditions and injuries.

NYC Orthopedic Group Center explores nonsurgical treatment options such as physical therapy whenever possible, as conservative treatment options can be effective at treating many knee-related conditions. In those cases where surgery is necessary, we offer the latest, state-of-the-art procedures including arthroscopic ACL repair surgery, cartilage repair/transplantation and robot-assisted partial knee replacement, which allow us to provide better outcomes and, in some cases, faster recovery times for our patients.

Our specialists’ goal is to help New Yorkers get back on their feet and back to their active lives.

Though we remain at the forefront of the latest advances in our field, we never lose sight of the importance of optimizing patient outcomes above all else.
