Knee

Knee

The knee is the body’s largest joint. It’s the place where three bones meet: the tibia, the femur, and the patella. It is also a complex system of supportive and moving parts, including bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, and ligaments – each of which is subject to injury or disease. Because of this, treatment of knee-related injuries and disorders requires a distinct set of skills and experience.

Holy Name's board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeons provide expert care to a wide range of knee patients, from high-level athletes who are dealing with a sports injury to people whose knees are worn out from years of everyday use. Our dedication to providing the highest quality medical care has resulted in earning various awards and accreditations, including The Joint Commission Center of Excellence in knee replacement.

Holy Name is one of the only hospitals in the region to offer Persona IQ® "smart knee" technology for knee replacement. The technology is the first implantable device that allows for remote patient monitoring and collects post-surgery data on a patient's progress. Persona IQ® is the first and only smart knee implant granted De Novo status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for total knee replacement surgery. The "smart knee" is the latest in Holy Name's range of advanced orthopedic treatment options, including robotic and minimally-invasive technologies that give patients the quickest possible recovery.

Knee pain can often be relieved through non-surgical techniques. Our orthopedic team will work with you to treat and potentially resolve your knee pain using physical therapy, interventional pain management, medications, injections or other non-surgical therapies.
