Our expert providers specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of knee conditions of all severity levels, from sprains to torn ACLs. No injury or condition is too large or too small.

At Paris Orthopedics, we are experts in a wide variety of knee injuries and conditions. Below are a few of the most common conditions we treat:
- Ligament Injuries

Treatment Methods
Depending upon the source of your pain, our expert physicians may opt for non-surgical, minimally invasive, or open surgical procedures when necessary.
- Non-Surgical Treatment Methods: Non-surgical treatment methods for knee pain may include one or a combination of the following:
- Corticosteroid injections
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Physical Therapy
- Bracing
- Exercise and Stretching
- Hyaluronic acid injections
- Viscosupplementation injections
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: Paris Orthopedics prefers to use conservative surgical methods when warranted. In many cases, knee surgeries can be performed using minimally invasive measures, resulting in less side effects and quicker recovery times. Most often knee surgeries are performed as an arthroscopic surgery, meaning a small camera and instruments are inserted through small incisions in the knee.
- Open Surgical Procedures: When necessary, a more invasive procedure may be recommended to treat conditions of the knee. Open surgery may be necessary for total or partial knee replacements, ACL surgery, and more. However, even if an open procedure is necessary, you can rest assured that our knee experts will have you back on your feet as soon as possible.
