Dr. Noy does ACL surgery exclusively through arthroscopic techniques. He uses very small incisions, cameras and equipment. Patients are typically released the same day by using only a regional block which helps decrease anesthetic risks, decrease pain, and quicker initiation of exercises.

Meniscus tears typically occur during movements that forcefully rotate the knee while bearing weight, such as in sports or running for a bus, but can also occur during stretches and yoga as well. Arthroscopic meniscus repair surgery is an elective procedure so it can be scheduled based upon the patient’s needs, but is best performed within two months after the injury as the chances of the torn tissue being repairable go down over time and then the only choice is to remove the torn tissue.

The labrum is a type of cartilage found in the shoulder joint that is more fibrous or rigid than the cartilage on the ends of the ball and socket.Treatment depends upon the kind of tear, age of the patient and goals of the patient. Sometimes these tears are managed successfully without surgery, but if surgery is necessary, it can be done arthroscopically.

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that form a cuff over the ball (humerus) of the shoulder joint. These muscles and tendons hold the arm in its “ball and socket” joint and help the shoulder to rotate.The minority of patients who end up undergoing surgical treatment for a rotator cuff tear.

Even after a successful reconstruction, it is possible to reinjure the ACL. Most primary ACL reconstruction surgeries have an 80-90% success rate; however acl revision surgery  may be needed if poor reconstruction, poor rehabilitation, or reinjury occurs.Depending on the extent of failure in the original reconstruction, multiple surgeries may be necessary.
