Knee
Our knee doctors at Flagstaff Bone & Joint are recognized experts in the diagnosis and treatment of knee injuries and conditions.
For patients, pain in the knee can be the result of a condition that has developed over time or from overuse like osteoarthritis, arthritis, and runner’s knee, or from the occurrence of a recent sports injury, such as a meniscal tear or dislocated kneecap.
In some circumstances, and if not identified early on, orthopaedic conditions such as arthritis may create extreme bone and joint discomfort, making knee surgery, such as knee replacement, total knee arthroplasty, or knee arthroscopy, possible options for relieving your knee pain.
