The knee is the largest joint in the human body. It’s also a very complex one, which makes it vulnerable to a variety of injuries — from knee sprains, meniscal or cartilage damage to tears of the “ACL” (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) or “MCL” (Medial Collateral Ligament), which are so common among people participating in sports, at all levels. In fact, knee problems are the most common reason why people visit an orthopaedic surgeon.
If you’re experiencing any pain in your knees or legs you want to be seen by a physician who is an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of these problems – from the simple to the serious. In Western New York, Excelsior Orthopaedics is THE place to go.
