Discover expert care for knee pain and injuries in Manhattan with advanced treatments at New York Sports & Joints.

Knee Health Starts Here
The knee is a critical joint that supports your weight, enables movement, and endures everyday wear and tear. Whether you're focused on prevention, exploring treatment for knee injuries, or researching the latest surgical and rehab options in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, or the Bronx, our team is here to guide you.
Our board-certified, fellowship-trained knee specialists bring elite training and compassionate care to every case, using the most advanced techniques to deliver optimal outcomes.
ACL Reconstruction
ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to restore stability and function to a knee with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, one of the joint's key stabilizers. Our specialists repair the ligament using advanced grafting techniques to help patients return to active, pain-free movement.
Cartilage Defects
Cartilage defects occur when the smooth, protective tissue covering the ends of bones in the knee becomes damaged due to injury, wear, or disease. Left untreated, these defects can lead to joint pain and arthritis. Our team offers both surgical and non-surgical options to repair and regenerate cartilage, preserving long-term knee function.
Custom Fit Total Knee Replacement
A custom-fit total knee replacement uses advanced imaging and 3D modeling to create a personalized implant tailored to your unique anatomy. This technique improves alignment, function, and comfort, allowing for a more natural feel and a smoother recovery.
Distal Realignment Procedures
Distal realignment procedures correct abnormal kneecap tracking, often caused by structural imbalances in the knee. By adjusting the position of the tendons or bones, these procedures restore proper mechanics, reduce pain, and help prevent recurrent dislocations.
Knee Arthroplasty
Knee arthroplasty, or knee replacement surgery, involves replacing damaged or worn-out joint surfaces with artificial components. It is a highly effective treatment for severe arthritis or injury, providing long-term pain relief and improved mobility.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat knee problems through small incisions. Using a tiny camera and specialized instruments, our surgeons can repair meniscus tears, remove damaged cartilage, or treat other internal issues with less downtime and faster healing.
Meniscal Repair vs. Debridement
Repair and debridement are two different approaches when treating a torn meniscus. Meniscal repair stitches the torn cartilage back together, ideal for younger, active patients or tears with good blood supply. Debridement trims and smooths the damaged tissue, often recommended when a tear cannot be repaired. Our team carefully evaluates your condition to choose the best option for lasting relief.
Partial Knee Replacement
Partial knee replacement replaces only the damaged portion of the knee joint—typically in the inner, outer, or kneecap area—preserving healthy bone and ligaments. This option offers a shorter recovery time and a more natural knee feel for patients with isolated arthritis.
Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement is a comprehensive procedure that replaces all weight-bearing surfaces of the knee with durable implants. It is recommended for patients with widespread joint damage from arthritis or injury, and it significantly improves pain, function, and quality of life.
Knee Anatomy and Function
The knee is a hinge-like joint formed by the thigh bone (femur), shin bone (tibia), and kneecap (patella). It is stabilized by strong ligaments and cushioned by cartilage and menisci. As one of the most complex and vital joints, the knee allows you to walk, run, kneel, and pivot, making its health essential for everyday movement.
