AppointmentsAbout the Knee
The knee is a complex, weight-bearing hinge joint connecting the femur and tibia, supported by ligaments and tendons. It enables flexion/extension and some rotation, making it essential for walking, running, and jumping.
Knee Osteoarthritis
- Pain worse with activity, better with rest
- Crepitus, stiffness (often AM), swelling/warmth
- Mobility reduction over time
Care starts conservatively (weight management, PT/exercise, NSAIDs, injections, bracing). Surgery is considered when non-operative options fail to control symptoms.
Schedule an AppointmentKnee Effusion
Excess joint fluid from arthritis, gout, or injury causes swelling, stiffness, warmth, and pain. Most cases respond to meds, aspiration, or injections; surgery is rarely needed.
Schedule an AppointmentACL Strain or Tear
Sudden pivot/twist can injure the ACL, often with a pop, pain, swelling, and instability. Milder injuries may be braced/rehabbed; complete tears often need reconstruction for active patients.
Schedule an AppointmentMeniscus Tear
Menisci cushion and stabilize the knee. Tears can be degenerative or from a twist. Severity drives care from rest/PT to arthroscopic repair/trim; full replacement is rarely related to isolated meniscal tears.
Schedule an AppointmentKnee Bursitis
Inflamed bursa causes focal swelling and tenderness, common with kneeling trades and some sports. Managed with activity mods, PT, meds, injections; surgery is uncommon.
Schedule an AppointmentPatellar Tendonitis
Overuse or acute strain of the patellar tendon leads to anterior knee pain and stiffness. Rest, load-management, eccentric strengthening, and modalities are first-line; surgery is rare.
Schedule an AppointmentPrevention
Dynamic stretching before exercise (e.g., leg swings, bodyweight squats) and static stretching after can help mobility and recovery. Train progressively; warm up, cross-train, and track loads.
Schedule an AppointmentKnee Surgery at MOA
When conservative care is no longer effective, surgical options can relieve pain and restore function. Our approach emphasizes patient-readiness, minimally invasive technique where appropriate, and rapid mobilization.
