Targeted Surgical Care to Protect and Preserve Your Knee Joint
The meniscus and joint cartilage play a critical role in shock absorption, stability, and smooth knee movement. When these structures are injured, patients often experience pain, locking, swelling, or a sensation of the knee “giving way.” Early and accurate treatment can prevent further damage and reduce the risk of long-term joint problems.
At Michigan Orthopedic Center, our orthopedic surgeons diagnose and treat meniscus and cartilage injuries with a focus on preserving natural joint function. We use advanced techniques, including minimally invasive surgery, to help patients recover strength, stability, and mobility.
Types of Meniscus and Cartilage Conditions We Treat
Meniscus Tears
Cartilage Lesions or Defects
Loose Bodies in the Joint
Osteochondritis Dissecans
