Partial Knee Replacement
Total Knee Replacement
Replacement of a joint, including the knee, is often performed on an arthritic or damaged joint, where that joint is replaced with an artificial prosthesis. As the cartilage that cushions the knee wears away, the bones of the joint rub together, leading to bone spurs and stiff/painful movement. Knee joint replacement surgery is usually considered when patients can no longer control their knee pain with medication and the discomfort significantly limits their daily activities. We are proud to work with patients facing debilitating knee pain and help them live fuller, more active lives after a total or partial knee replacement.

Knee care is crucial for athletes facing an injury. Proper care can get you back on the field, playing the sport you love. At OrthoGeorgia, our sports medicine specialists diagnose and treat all athletic injuries, including knee injuries sustained during sports. Many sports create a high risk for knee injuries because of the nature of the motions they require. Sudden stops, twists, and turns, along with increased pressure on the knee joint, can lead to injury during a sport. Athletes may also face longer-term knee pain due to overuse or overtraining. No matter what type of athletic knee injury you are facing, our team will work to create a personalized treatment plan and get you back on the field.
Knee injuries are most common in sports with frequent starting, stopping, landing, or changing of direction, along with sports that are higher impact. Some of the most common knee injuries in sports include:
