Knee Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL)
The Medical Collateral Ligament (MCL) is a wide band of tissue in the inner part of the knee that can become damaged from outside impact to the knee. In most cases, an injury to the medial collateral ligament heals using non-surgical therapies.

Knee Arthroscopy
An arthroscopy is a limited incision procedure that allows for the minimally invasive repair of many orthopedic conditions. The arthroscope is a camera that is introduced into the joint.
Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)
Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injury is an injury to the ligament on the outer side of the knee. It can be a stretch, partial tear, or complete tear of the ligament, and often does not require surgical intervention.
Loose Bodies
Loose bodies are bits of bone, cartilage or other tissue that have broken free and are floating within the knee, which may or may not cause symptoms.
Meniscus Tear
Meniscus tears are a common knee injury that often occurs when the knee is twisted when bent resulting in a torn cartilage. The menisci help protect the knee from arthritic changes and should therefore be treated if torn.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Tear
The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is one of the four major ligaments of the knee. Treatment for PCL tears is often non-surgical.
Hip Strains
Sprains and strains are among the most common injuries in sports. A sprain is an injury to the ligaments around a joint.
