If you have an injury like a torn meniscus, you might need meniscal repair surgery to help this piece of cartilage in your knee to heal. Repairing a torn cruciate or collateral ligament typically involves reattaching the severed ends of the ligament using a graft – a piece of tendon from another part of your body or donated tissue.

If your knee pain is due to arthritis, you could benefit from a total knee replacement. This surgery involves removing the damaged surfaces of the bones and replacing them with artificial components.

Wherever possible, Elite’s Nashville knee doctors use minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to perform knee surgery. An arthroscope is an instrument that fits into your knee through tiny cuts, then sends back images of the surgery site to a monitor for your provider to work from.
