Expert Knee Care in Philadelphia

Knee pain affects people of all ages and activity levels. Whether caused by arthritis, a prior injury, or cartilage damage, it can interfere with walking, climbing stairs, and daily activity. When conservative treatments like medication, physical therapy, and injections no longer provide adequate relief, surgery may offer the best path forward.

At Temple Health, our orthopaedic surgeons and knee specialists treat the full range of knee conditions at multiple locations across the Philadelphia region. We take time to understand your symptoms, review your imaging, and explain all available options so you can make an informed decision about your care.

Knee Surgery Options

Our orthopaedic team is experienced in a broad range of knee procedures. Your surgeon will recommend the right approach based on your diagnosis, activity level, age, and goals.

Knee replacement surgery: The damaged joint surfaces are replaced with metal and high-grade plastic components to relieve pain and restore mobility. Recommended when arthritis or joint damage has not responded to conservative treatment.
Knee arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat problems inside the knee joint, including meniscus tears, loose bodies, and cartilage damage, through small incisions.
Meniscus surgery, including meniscus transplant: Repair, removal, or replacement of a damaged meniscus, the cartilage cushion between the thighbone and shinbone.
Osteotomy/alignment surgery: A joint-preserving procedure that corrects knee alignment to redistribute weight away from a damaged portion of the joint.
Multi-ligament knee reconstruction: Surgical repair or reconstruction of multiple torn ligaments in the knee, typically following a complex injury.
Non-surgical management: Including rest, physical therapy, medication, injections including steroids, viscosupplementation, and biologic options for appropriate candidates.

Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery helps ease joint pain in the arthritic knee and improve mobility, helping patients enjoy pain-free daily activities. During the procedure, your orthopaedic surgeon replaces the damaged joint with metal and high-grade plastics to allow it to move like a healthy knee again.

Knee replacement may be recommended when conservative treatments have not addressed pain or improved mobility caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or chronic joint damage from a prior injury. Your surgeon will discuss your specific condition and whether knee replacement is the right option for you.

Your Temple care team will walk you through what to expect before, during, and after surgery at your pre-operative appointment.
