Hip and Knee Problems

Athletic injuries, arthritis and accidents are common causes of damage to the bones, tendons and ligaments of the knee and hip. Injuries to these joints can have a huge impact on mobility and independence. Many chronic hip and knee problems do not require joint replacement but are painful enough to curb mobility and affect quality of life. If you have torn a ligament, meniscus or cartilage in your knee, surgeons can often evaluate and repair the problem in an arthroscopic procedure. Surgeons also use arthroscopy to view and rectify problems using the hip joint. These slightly invasive procedures can relieve pain and restore mobility and reduce post-procedure pain and require far less recovery time.
