Arthroscopy
In an arthroscopic examination, Dr.
Wainer makes a small incision in the
patient's skin and then inserts
instruments that magnify and
illuminate the structures inside the
joint. This lets Dr. Wainer see the
cartilage and ligaments to determine
the amount or type of injury and then repair or correct the problem,
if necessary. Candidates for arthroscopy include patients with chronic
inflammation, tendon tears, impingement syndrome, persistent pain,
catching, giving way, loss of confidence in the joint, and recurrent
dislocations.
Recent advances in total knee
replacement surgery have enabled Dr.
Wainer to begin performing the
surgeries on an outpatient basis. For
qualified patients this can mean going
home on the same day as the surgery, with reduced post-operative
pain, increased range of motion and overall improved outcome.

In a partial knee replacement, Dr.
Wainer only replaces the damaged
compartment of the knee with man-
made materials. The healthy cartilage
and bone in the rest of the knee is left
alone. Partial knee replacement offers several advantages over total
knee replacement surgery. Dr. Wainer can let you know if you are a
potential candidate for an Oxford® Partial Knee Replacement.
The quadriceps-sparing, minimally
invasive total knee replacement
reduces post-operative discomfort by
sparing the quadriceps muscle and
tendon that are traditionally cut
through during a normal total knee replacement surgery. A computer
gives Dr. Wainer constant feedback during the procedure to provide
the best possible outcome for the patient.

Platelet-rich plasma with enhanced
healing properties is extracted from the
patient’s blood and then injected directly
into affected joints. PRP has a success
rate of 70-80% in alleviating discomfort
and promoting healing in tendon and
muscle injuries with continued improvement over the next several
months after the treatment. Dr. Wainer can help you jump start your
body’s healing process with PRP Therapy.
