Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure that is used to diagnose and treat problems within the joints. During arthroscopic surgery, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the joint through a small incision. This allows the surgeon to see the inside of the joint without making a large incision, which can result in less postoperative pain and a quicker recovery.

At Sports Medicine & Joint Replacement Specialists, our surgeons are highly skilled in performing arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle. We routinely use arthroscopic surgery to diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions.

MACI Surgery for Knee Repair

The MACI procedure (Matrix-Assisted Chondrocyte Implantation) is a cutting-edge, minimally-invasive surgery that is used to repair cartilage damage in the knee. The MACI procedure is an alternative to traditional cartilage transplantation surgery, and it has been shown to be effective in treating a wide variety of cartilage damage. During the MACI procedure, a small amount of cartilage is taken from a healthy area of the knee and then implanted into the damaged area. This allows the cartilage to grow and repair the damage, providing patients with long-term relief from pain. If you think you may be a candidate for the MACI procedure, the first step is to schedule a consultation with one of the highly-trained surgeons at Sports Medicine & Joint Replacement Specialists.
