If you’re dealing with knee pain caused by a meniscus tear, you know better than anyone else how the discomfort can affect your daily activities. The last thing you want to deal with is an invasive surgery that takes weeks to heal from.

At Blackrock Orthopedics, Dr. Winegar is focused on solutions that get you back to your usual activities as soon as possible. Contact our office to schedule a consultation.

Why You Should Choose Us for Meniscus Surgery

Meniscus tears are common occurrences after a twisting injury to your knee.

They sometimes are degenerative from wear and tear. Unfortunately, these tears can cause major pain and mechanical symptoms. The tears can occasionally flip up the joint, causing a block in motion. Meniscus tears rarely heal independently and can cause further damage if not treated appropriately.

At Blackrock Orthopedics, Dr. Winegar performs meniscus surgeries as outpatient procedures. The procedure typically takes anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. Patients can expect to be on crutches for up to six weeks after the surgery if the tear needs to be repaired.

“From the moment I arrived, the customer service and care was great! I was greeted by a very friendly and professional front desk staff. I didn’t wait long to be called back where Dr. Winegar’s nursing staff were very friendly and courteous and quickly set me at ease (as this was a new physician for me). His x-ray technician was a marvel at making me comfortable during the entire process. I felt very welcomed by everyone from his front desk, check-in nurse and x-ray technician. Nothing but professional! I would give 10 stars if I could.” – Jason and Sara W.
