Sacramento Knee & Sports Medicine offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of orthopaedic injuries.  We provide a wide range of services, including arthroscopic surgery, joint replacement surgery, diagnostic Xray, MRI, and physical therapy.   

Arthroscopic Surgery

The return of athletes after injury to their sport has been made increasingly possible in part because of minimally invasive techniques such as arthroscopic surgery.  This is done through small punctures rather than large incisions, and surgery is generally done in an outpatient setting.  The advantages of arthroscopic surgery hold true not only for athletes, but individuals in all walks of life, allowing for quick recovery and return to activities of daily living.   

Joint Replacement Surgery

Knee joint replacement is a treatment alternative for degenerative arthritis of the knee, generally performed on patients in 60+ age group.  The surface of the bone (articular cartilage) has worn down, exposing the underlying bone.  Total knee replacement involves placement of implants that act as new surface coverings for the bone.  This will relieve pain and allow for improved ambulatory function.

Shoulder joint replacement is a treatment alternative for chronic wear and tear on the joint.  Shoulder replacement surgery is designed to replace the worn out joint surface with artificial surfaces to provide smoother motion with less pain, restoring motion and improving function.
