Knee Replacement
With one of the most experienced centers for knee procedures in the region, MultiCare offers particular expertise in ligament and meniscal repairs, cartilage replacement and total knee replacement surgery – as well as minimally invasive knee surgery. Our caring and experienced staff has created a comprehensive approach to knee problems – from diagnosis and treatment to rehabilitation and recovery.
The knee represents a complex system of joint movement. Cartilage (a smooth lining), ligaments (stretchable connective tissue) and muscles help the two bones at the knee joint move over each other so the leg can be straightened and bent. As the smooth lining or other parts of the knee wear down or break, the joint becomes stiff and movement becomes painful.
