Many individuals will require knee surgery at some point in their lives, as the knee joint – a load-bearing structure consisting of bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscles – is susceptible to a variety of injuries and degenerative conditions. At Tampa General Hospital, we offer surgical knee treatment to individuals who have experienced a sudden, traumatic injury and to those who have been plagued by chronic knee pain.
