Overview
Knee at a glance
Knee practice runs from young-athlete ligament and cartilage work to alignment-driven arthroplasty in the arthritic knee.
The hub tracks graft choice, meniscus preservation and the shift toward kinematic and functional alignment philosophies.
Common conditions
Presentations that dominate the clinic and emergency workload in this subspecialty.
ACL rupture
Pivot-shift instability, frequently with ramp or meniscal root involvement.
Meniscal tear
Repair-first thinking in vascular zones; selective partial meniscectomy elsewhere.
Patellofemoral instability
Trochlear dysplasia, patella alta and TT-TG distance drive planning.
Osteoarthritis
Compartmental versus tricompartmental disease determines implant strategy.
Chondral defects
Symptomatic focal lesions in a well-aligned, stable knee.
Procedures
Core operative procedures, from day-care work to complex reconstruction.
ACL reconstruction
Hamstring, BTB or quadriceps graft with anatomic tunnel placement.
Meniscus repair
All-inside, inside-out and transtibial root repair.
High tibial osteotomy
Unloading the medial compartment in the young varus knee.
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
Preserved ligaments and faster recovery in isolated disease.
Total knee arthroplasty
Primary and revision reconstruction with alignment planning.
Surgical techniques
Technical detail and decision points discussed by faculty in this hub.
Anatomic femoral tunnel
Anteromedial portal drilling versus flexible reamers.
Ramp lesion inspection
Routine posteromedial viewing to avoid missed pathology.
Kinematic alignment
Restoring the pre-arthritic joint line versus mechanical neutrality.
Balanced gap technique
Sequential release logic for the fixed varus knee.
