Overview
The knee is the largest joint in the body and one of the most commonly injured. Pain can come from an acute injury — like a meniscus tear or ligament sprain — or develop gradually from overuse, misalignment, or early arthritis.
Dr. Tyorkin evaluates your knee with a hands-on exam and in-office digital X-ray, so most patients leave their first visit with a clear diagnosis and a plan. Treatment starts conservatively and advances to arthroscopic repair only when it's truly needed.
