Knee

The knee is a joint that connects the thigh with the lower leg, and is a system of moving parts consisting of cartilage, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It is a hinge that supplies our body with the strength to run, squat, jump, and turn. The knee is vulnerable to a number of injuries and conditions because of its inability to rotate in every direction.

At Cape Fear Orthopedics, our specialists have a matchless expertise for successfully treating knee injuries and conditions. They provide leading-edge techniques and procedures—from minimally invasive knee replacement to partial knee resurfacing—to effectively restore patients’ mobility and function. Whether you have osteoarthritis of the knee, a torn ACL, or a torn meniscus, our surgeons are devoted to developing an individualized treatment plan to safely return you to health.
