Considering knee surgery?

Embracing a conservative approach towards joint pain management, Dr. Gardner prioritizes less invasive treatment modalities whenever possible.
Exploring surgical options
In instances necessitating knee surgery, Dr. Gardner offers a spectrum of procedures tailored to your unique needs.
Arthroscopic Knee Surgery: Arthroscopic surgery represents a minimally invasive approach to alleviate knee pain. This technique involves the insertion of a small fiber-optic camera and surgical instruments through tiny incisions, allowing for precise visualization and repair of joint structures. In select cases, a single incision approach may be employed to minimize surgical invasiveness.
Open Knee Surgery: For certain conditions, open surgery may be warranted to achieve comprehensive repair. While this method typically entails a longer recovery period, it may be indispensable for addressing complex issues effectively.
Navigating the recovery journey
Recovery following knee surgery hinges on the specific procedure performed and individual health considerations. Balancing the need for joint mobilization with the imperative to avoid undue strain is a key challenge faced during rehabilitation. Physical therapy often assumes a pivotal role in the recovery process, facilitating joint strength and flexibility under the guidance of skilled practitioners.
