Knee

The knee is a "hinge" joint and is the largest joint in the body bending in only one direction. Three bones (the tibia, the femur and the patella), cartilage, tendons and ligaments are joined at the knee. Due to the amount of stress put onto knees, they are one of the most easily injured joints. The world-class doctors at the Dillon Surgery Center are committed to getting you back on your feet so that you may live your active lifestyle healthier and stronger than ever before.

Here are a few common knee injuries:

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tear
• Bursitis of the Knee
• Chondral Defects
• Fracture
• Knee Replacement
• Meniscus Tear
• Patellofemorial Pain Syndrome
• Osteoarthritis of the Knee
