ACL/Meniscus Surgery
ACL injuries and meniscus tears are among the most common knee injuries, often occurring during sports, exercise, or sudden twisting movements. Left untreated, ACL tears can lead to recurrent knee instability, while meniscus tears can cause pain, swelling, and mechanical symptoms. Both injuries may increase the risk of cartilage damage and early arthritis over time. Knee arthroscopy surgeon Dr. Kelechi Okoroha specializes in diagnosing the underlying cause of knee pain and developing individualized treatment plans to restore stability, relieve pain, and help patients safely return to work, sports, and the activities they enjoy. He also provides highly specialized care before, during, and after surgery. Contact Dr. Okoroha's team to schedule an appointment today!
