ACL Reconstruction (Patellar Tendon Graft Technique)

Arthroscopic Chondroplasty
This outpatient procedure is used to repair a small area of damaged cartilage in the knee. The damaged tissue is removed, allowing healthy cartilage to grow in its place. It is performed through small incisions on the sides of the knee with the aid of a small video camera called an arthroscope.

Lateral Release and Medial Imbrication

Meniscus Repair (Arthroscopic Technique)
Each of your knee joints is cushioned by two c-shaped wedges of cartilage. The two cushions in each knee are called the ""menisci."" Individually, each cushion is called a ""meniscus."" Certain motions, such as twisting the knee, can cause a meniscus to tear. In many cases, a torn meniscus can be treated with arthroscopic surgery.
-
Partial Meniscectomy
The meniscus is a cushion of cartilage. There are two in each knee. If one of these shock absorbers is worn out or hurt, you may need a partial meniscectomy to remove the damaged areas.

Revision Knee Surgery
