Our physicians will take a full medical history, perform a physical exam, and utilize imaging studies (X-rays, MRIs, CT scans) to determine the location and extent of the articular cartilage damage. Advanced MRI technology allows surgeons to design a personalized treatment plan prior to surgery. Continual MRI readings taken after surgery allow for an objective assessment of the performed surgery and the application of a proper rehabilitation plan that, together, facilitate a complete recovery.
