Knee
As anyone who follows sports knows, knee injuries are quite common. Everyone is susceptible, especially as age and the wear and tear of daily living take a toll. Diseases, such as arthritis, also play a destructive role. Treatments offered by the orthopedic specialist on the medical staff at Texas Health Winnsboro are helping solve many of these problems.

Treatment options include:

• Arthroscopic Knee Surgeries: Techniques that utilize tiny instruments and cameras introduced through small incisions to diagnose and treat various problems inside the knee; faster recoveries and fewer complications are the typical benefits.
• Knee Replacement Surgery: A therapeutic approach that replaces part or all of a worn out knee joint with an artificial joint made of high-tech metal alloys and plastics; knee pain and disability typically occur when cartilage that cushions the knee joint deteriorates, resulting in bone-on-bone contact; knee implants can relieve pain and restore function
