ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY

Orthopedic Knee Surgery 

The knee is the largest joint in the body, and one of the most easily injured. Sports, work injuries, arthritis, or weakening of the tissues with age can cause wear and inflammation, resulting in pain and diminished knee function. 

Orthopedic surgeons at Beverly and Addison Gilbert hospitals perform more than 900 orthopedic knee surgeries a year to partially or totally replace it, repair meniscal tears and torn ligaments, and remove loose fragments of bone or cartilage. Our surgeons are skilled in the use of arthroscopy to diagnose and treat knee disorders. Arthroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure, allows the orthopedic surgeon a view inside the knee to make a thorough examination and to determine the source of the problem. During the procedure, the orthopedic surgeon can also insert surgical instruments through other small incisions in the knee to remove or repair damaged tissues.
