The knee is the largest joint in the body and the most common reason patients visit an orthopedist.   The knee joint is comprised of bones, cartilage, muscle, tendons, and ligaments.  Due to the various supporting components, there is an array of knee diseases and injuries that can occur.

Arthritis is a disease of the knee that can take many different forms.  The most technological advanced surgery available for the treatment of arthritis is joint replacement. To get more information on treatment options for arthritis, Texas Orthopedics offers an Arthritis Camp the first Thursday of every month to present patients with their options for treatment. 

Knee injuries can originate from many different sources; for example, normal wear, sports injuries, and work-related injuries.  It is important to get a clear diagnosis from a physician before deciding on treatment options.  Diagnoses can be made by our orthopedists’ using our onsite x-ray and MRI.
