Our team includes fellowship-trained knee specialists, sports medicine physicians, and joint replacement surgeons experienced in treating everything from acute sports injuries and overuse conditions to chronic knee pain and arthritis.

Expert Treatment for Knee Pain, Instability, and Injury
OrthoTexas offers expert evaluation and treatment for knee pain, instability, and injury using a conservative-first, evidence-based approach. Our specialists begin with a thorough clinical assessment and advanced imaging to accurately identify the source of knee symptoms, whether it’s caused by injury, overuse, arthritis, or mechanical imbalance. Many knee conditions can be effectively managed with non-surgical care such as physical therapy, activity modification, and targeted injections, while surgical options are reserved for cases where they provide the best path to recovery. With fellowship-trained knee and sports medicine specialists, OrthoTexas delivers personalized care focused on reducing pain, restoring stability, and helping patients safely return to daily activities, work, and sports.
Conditions We Treat
OrthoTexas provides comprehensive care for the full spectrum of knee conditions, from common sports injuries to degenerative joint disease and complex trauma. Our knee specialists combine advanced diagnostics with evidence-based treatment plans tailored to each patient’s activity level, goals, and stage of injury. Below are some of the most common knee conditions we evaluate and treat, with both non-surgical and surgical options available when appropriate.
ACL Tears
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears often occur during pivoting, cutting, or sudden deceleration movements and may cause a popping sensation, swelling, and knee instability. OrthoTexas treats ACL injuries in athletes and active individuals with personalized rehabilitation plans and surgical reconstruction when needed to restore stability.
Meniscus Tears
Meniscus tears involve damage to the knee’s shock-absorbing cartilage and can lead to pain, swelling, stiffness, or catching and locking of the joint. Treatment depends on the tear type, size, and patient activity level, ranging from physical therapy to arthroscopic repair or trimming.
MCL, LCL, and PCL Injuries
Injuries to the medial (MCL), lateral (LCL), or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) often result from impact, twisting, or overstretching of the knee. OrthoTexas specialists evaluate knee stability and alignment to determine whether bracing, rehabilitation, or surgical intervention is the best course of care.
Patellar Instability & Dislocation
Patellar instability occurs when the kneecap shifts out of its normal groove, sometimes leading to dislocation. Patients may experience pain, swelling, or a feeling that the knee is “giving way.” Treatment focuses on restoring proper tracking through therapy, bracing, or corrective surgery in recurrent cases.
Knee Arthritis (Osteoarthritis)
Knee osteoarthritis develops as cartilage gradually wears down, causing stiffness, swelling, and chronic pain that worsens with activity. OrthoTexas offers a full range of arthritis care, including lifestyle modifications, injections, and advanced joint replacement options for severe disease.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Patellofemoral pain syndrome causes discomfort around or behind the kneecap, often related to overuse, muscle imbalance, or alignment issues. Treatment typically emphasizes targeted physical therapy, strengthening, and movement correction to reduce stress on the joint.
Tendonitis & Overuse Injuries
Conditions such as patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee) and quadriceps tendonitis, result from repetitive stress and overloading of the knee tendons. OrthoTexas focuses on reducing inflammation, correcting biomechanics, and gradually returning patients to activity.
Knee Fractures & Trauma
Traumatic knee injuries, including fractures of the patella or surrounding bones, require prompt evaluation and specialized care. OrthoTexas trauma-trained orthopedic surgeons manage both simple and complex knee fractures, from stabilization to surgical repair and rehabilitation.
Cartilage Injuries & Chondromalacia
Cartilage injuries and chondromalacia involve softening or damage to the joint surface, leading to pain, swelling, and mechanical symptoms. Treatment may include activity modification, injections, or cartilage-preserving surgical techniques depending on the extent of damage.
Knee Treatments and Procedures
OrthoTexas offers comprehensive knee care designed to relieve pain, restore stability, and help patients return to an active lifestyle. Our knee specialists take a conservative-first approach whenever possible, combining advanced diagnostics, customized rehabilitation, and minimally invasive techniques. When surgery is necessary, OrthoTexas provides the full spectrum of modern knee procedures, from arthroscopy and ligament reconstruction to partial and total knee replacement, supported by coordinated physical therapy and recovery programs.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Many knee conditions improve with non-surgical care. OrthoTexas uses personalized treatment plans that may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, bracing, weight management strategies, and activity modification to reduce pain, improve strength, and support joint health.
Image-Guided Injections
Image-guided injections are used to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and help clarify the source of knee symptoms. Options may include corticosteroid injections, viscosupplementation for arthritis, and diagnostic injections to guide treatment decisions.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat meniscus tears, cartilage damage, and loose bodies within the joint. This approach typically results in smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
ACL & Ligament Reconstruction
For patients with knee instability caused by ACL or other ligament tears, OrthoTexas offers advanced reconstruction techniques. Surgeons tailor graft selection and surgical approach, based on patient age, activity level, and athletic goals to restore stability and function.
Meniscus Repair or Partial Meniscectomy
Meniscus surgery is customized based on the location and pattern of the tear. When possible, surgeons prioritize meniscus repair to preserve joint health.
Cartilage Restoration Procedures
Cartilage restoration procedures aim to repair or replace damaged joint cartilage and reduce the risk of future arthritis. Techniques may include microfracture, osteochondral grafting, or other restorative options selected based on the size and location of the defect.
Total or Partial Knee Replacement
For patients with advanced knee arthritis, partial or total knee replacement can significantly reduce pain and improve mobility. OrthoTexas utilizes modern implants, refined surgical techniques, and optimized recovery pathways to support long-term outcomes and faster return to daily activities.
Revision Knee Surgery
Revision knee surgery addresses complications such as implant wear, loosening, infection, or persistent pain following a previous knee replacement. These complex procedures are performed by experienced surgeons with specialized training in revision joint reconstruction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common causes of hip pain?
Hip pain is commonly related to conditions such as labral tears, hip impingement, bursitis, arthritis, muscle strains, or overuse injuries. An orthopedic evaluation helps determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
What does a hip labral tear feel like?
A hip labral tear often causes deep groin pain, clicking or catching sensations, stiffness, or a feeling of instability in the hip. Because symptoms can overlap with other conditions, evaluation by a hip specialist is recommended.
When is hip replacement necessary?
Hip replacement is typically considered when severe arthritis or joint damage leads to persistent pain, limited mobility, and reduced quality of life despite appropriate non-surgical treatments.
Can hip impingement be treated without surgery?
Many cases of hip impingement can be managed with non-surgical care, including physical therapy, activity modification, and image-guided injections. Surgery may be considered if symptoms persist or function remains limited.
How long is recovery after hip arthroscopy or hip replacement?
Recovery timelines vary based on the procedure and individual factors. Patients may return to light activities within several weeks, while full recovery and return to higher-impact activities may take several months.
Is hip pain always related to the hip joint?
Not always. Some hip pain may be referred from the lower back or surrounding muscles, which is why a thorough evaluation is important.
Do athletes commonly experience hip injuries?
Yes. Athletes are prone to hip injuries due to repetitive motion, pivoting, and high-impact activities, making early evaluation important for safe return to play.
Will I need imaging for hip pain?
Imaging such as X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound may be recommended to accurately diagnose hip conditions and guide treatment planning.
Can physical therapy improve hip mobility and strength?
Physical therapy is often an effective treatment for improving hip strength, flexibility, and movement patterns, both before and after surgical care.
When should I see a hip specialist?
You should consider seeing a hip specialist if pain, stiffness, or mobility issues persist, worsen, or interfere with daily activities or athletic performance.
