Learn about advanced knee replacement techniques from our fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons.

Surgical Knee Procedures

  • Arthroscopic Knee Debridement Minimally invasive surgery to remove loose cartilage fragments and smooth rough joint surfaces. This procedure can be performed when gel injections need additional joint preparation.
  • Partial Knee Replacement For patients with isolated compartmental arthritis who don't respond to gel injections, this procedure replaces only the damaged portion of the knee joint while preserving healthy tissue.
  • Total Knee Replacement When conservative treatments including gel injections are no longer effective, our fellowship-trained surgeons perform complete joint replacement using the latest implant technology and minimally invasive techniques.

Over 92% of our knee replacement patients achieve excellent pain relief and return to their desired activities within 3 months.

What to Expect with Gel Injections

1

Initial Evaluation

Comprehensive examination including X-rays to assess the severity of your arthritis and determine if you're a good candidate for gel injections.

2

Pre-Injection Preparation

If excess fluid is present in your knee, we may remove it before the gel injection to optimize treatment effectiveness.

3

Gel Injection Procedure

The injection takes about 10-15 minutes in our office, using ultrasound guidance for precise placement. Local anesthetic ensures your comfort throughout the procedure.

4

Post-Injection Care

You'll receive specific activity guidelines and may begin physical therapy within a few days. Most patients can return to work the next day.

5

Follow-Up and Results

We monitor your progress over the following weeks as the gel takes effect. Maximum benefit is typically achieved within 4-6 weeks of injection.
