There are various ways the knee can be injured, particularly in the athletic arena. Participating in a demanding sport increased the  athletes risk of tearing the meniscus or ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). 

Mann Orthopaedics has the expertise to treat your orthopaedic knee condition from normal wear and tear, arthritis of the knee,  bursitis, fracture care, PCL, MCL, ACL, meniscus, and osteoarthritis of the knee. 

Many Orthopaedic problems may be successfully treated without surgery and is rarely the first line of treatment for most patients.

Viscosupplementation: A fluid naturally occurring in human joints that coats and lubricates the joint . Hyaluronate is injected into the joint easing the pain of moderate to severe degenerative arthritis providing immediate relief. It generally improves the quality of life for patients awaiting or seeking to postpone total joint replacement.

Steroid Injections: A key component to non-surgical pain management and critical to successful long-term management of recurrent back and joint pain. These injections can offer immediate relief for severe pain. These injections are not typically utilized as a permanent solution and are most often used in conjunction with physical therapy.

Arthritis

Arthritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the joints and their surrounding tissue - causing pain and stiffness. The severity and location of pain may depend on the type of arthritis, and symptoms may develop suddenly or gradually over time.

Tendonitis/Bursitis

Bursitis and tendonitis are two similar conditions characterized by painful inflammation of the cushioning tissue between bones and muscles (bursitis) or inflammation of the fibrous bands that connect muscle to bone (tendonitis). While bursitis is typically caused by physical trauma to the area, tendonitis is usually caused by long-term stress to the tendon - both can be treated with rest and anti-inflammatory medications.

Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel syndrome refers to the pinching of the median nerve, which runs through the forearm and into the hand. With injury, stress from work, overuse, or a congenital predisposition, the nerve can become squeezed at the wrist - causing burning, tingling, itching, and shooting pains.

Fracture

Fractures - of the shoulder, hip, hand, heel, foot, or elbow - occur when outside forces cause trauma to a bone and the stress causes the bone to break. Treatment and recovery time may depend on the location and severity of the fracture.

Hip Pain

Hip pain can have a number of causes - including joint problems, muscle damage or weakness, tendon problems, or most commonly osteoarthritis. Pain can be caused by overuse of the muscle or tendon, injury, or wear-and-tear, and treatment will depend on the specific diagnosis.

Joint Pain

Joint pain can occur at any age and have a number of causes - including muscle pain, rheumatoid or osteoarthritis, infectious diseases, or inflammation of the tendons or bursae cushioning the joint. The severity of pain and course of treatment may vary depending on the specific cause of pain.

Dislocation

Dislocation occurs when two connected bones become separated at the joint. This occurs most commonly in the shoulder, hip, or elbow, and is usually due to a sudden impact to the joint.

Osteoathritis

The term osteoarthritis refers to a breakdown of bone and cartilage within the joints - most commonly the hips, knees, spine, and hands. The disease causes pain and joint stiffness and typically begins after age 40. Though there is no cure for osteoarthritis, medication and physical therapy can help control symptoms.

Shin Splints

Shin splints (or medial tibial stress syndrome) - is a condition characterized by pain and tenderness along the tibia - the larger bone in the front of the lower leg. Shin splints are usually caused by repetitive physical activity; rest, medication, and physical therapy are the most common treatment.

Ruptured Tendon

A ruptured tendon occurs when extreme force or pressure causes a tendon to snap or break - resulting in extreme pain and sometimes permanent damage. A ruptured tendon may be treated with surgery or immobilization, depending on the location of the affected tendon.

Tendon Tear

A tendon tear can occur with trauma to the tendon, causing severe pain - the severity of pain and treatment will depend on the particular tendon affected as well as the degree of damage.

Tennis Elbow

The term "tennis elbow" refers to a painful inflammation of the tendons in the elbow - the condition is commonly caused by intense physical activity or overuse, such as playing tennis. Tennis elbow may be treated with rest, medication, and - in some cases - surgery.
