Minimally Invasive Biologic Joint Replacement encompasses our biologic rather than bionic (artificial) solutions to arthritic joints. In the knee an arthritic joint has lost the articular cartilage bearing surface of the joint, often lost a portion of the meniscus cartilage, the fibrous shock absorber, and may have lost one or more of the ligaments, and may be losing the alignment (becoming bowed or knock kneed). Our program begins with physical therapy to correct gait and muscle imbalances and proceeds to an outpatient surgical center where the tissues are replaced or stimulated to re-grow. For specifics on each tissue replacement see the headers below:

• Meniscus Replacement
• Articular Cartilage Regeneration
• Ligament Reconstruction
• Alignment Correction
• Stage I non operative rehabilitation program
• Nutrition for healthy joints
• Strength Training to return to sports on biologically reconstructed arthritic knees
