Treating Meniscus Tears

	It’s estimated that knee injuries account for one-third of all medical visits in the United States. Physicians with the University of Washington Medical Center work to correctly diagnose and individually treat patients with a wide array of knee injuries, including torn ligaments, runner's knee and meniscus tears. After telemark skier Andrew Etringer heard a telltale "pop" in his knee, he visited sports medicine specialist Dr. Brian J. Krabak. A brace and strengthening exercises were the right course of action for Andrew's bruised meniscus. Competitive tennis player Adam Rogers needed surgery to treat the acute meniscus tear in his knee. Dr. John R. Green performed arthroscopic surgery to ensure Adam would be able to keep his active lifestyle, and physical therapist Dr. Susanne Michaud helped Adam regain mobility and return to the tennis court.
