Knee surgery

Diagnostic imaging

Take advantage of convenient imaging services that help your orthopedic surgeon accurately diagnose your condition.

Knee arthroscopy

Knee arthroscopy uses a tiny camera and small surgical tools to inspect, diagnose and treat problems in your knee. Your surgeon may perform arthroscopy if you experience:

• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear
• Broken kneecap
• Damaged cartilage
• Inflamed synovial tissue
• Meniscus tear

Computer-assisted total knee replacement

During knee replacement surgery, or knee arthroplasty, your orthopedic surgeon replaces a damaged joint with artificial parts. At ProHealth, your doctor may use a computer to help plan and guide your procedure. This technology helps your doctor work with greater precision and accuracy. You benefit from fewer side effects and a faster recovery time.
