Dr. Turab Syed offers comprehensive knee services including total knee replacements, knee arthroscopy, and various surgical and non-surgical treatments for knee conditions. His fellowship training and expertise in knee surgery ensure that patients receive the highest quality care.
The knee is a complex joint made up of different structures — bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. They all work together to maintain the knee's normal function and provide stability to the knee during movement.
Having a well-functioning healthy knee is essential for our mobility and ability to participate in various activities.
The knee is a hinge joint made up of two bones, the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia). There are two round knobs at the end of the femur called femoral condyles that articulate with the flat surface of the tibia called the tibial plateau.
A small bone called the patella sits in the patellofemoral groove and forms the kneecap. It acts as a shield and protects the knee joint from direct trauma.
Mr. Turab Syed employs advanced techniques to address knee pain, arthritis, and injuries, focusing on restoring function and improving quality of life.
Total knee replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure where the damaged knee joint is replaced with artificial components. Mr. Syed uses the latest techniques and implant materials to ensure optimal outcomes. Typically recommended for patients with severe knee arthritis who have not responded to conservative treatments.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the knee joint. Through small incisions, Mr. Syed inserts a tiny camera (arthroscope) to view the inside of the knee and make precise surgical repairs to damaged cartilage, ligaments, or menisci.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction repairs a torn ACL, one of the key ligaments that help stabilize the knee joint. Mr. Syed performs this procedure using advanced techniques to restore knee stability and function, allowing patients to return to normal activities including sports.
The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a cushion between your femur and tibia. When torn, it can cause pain and instability. Mr. Syed offers meniscus repairs when appropriate, preserving as much of the natural meniscus as possible to maintain knee function.
Mr. Syed also offers various non-surgical treatments for knee conditions, including physical therapy, medication, cortisone injections, viscosupplementation, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections — tailored to each patient's individual needs.
If you're experiencing knee pain, instability, or reduced mobility due to arthritis, injury, or other knee conditions, Dr. Turab Syed provides comprehensive treatment options to help you return to an active, pain-free life.
