Diagnóstico Avanzado

Advanced Diagnosis

We perform a detailed analysis of your knee condition through physical examination, functional tests and high-precision imaging studies such as X-rays, ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. This diagnosis allows us to determine if the injury is to the meniscus, ligament, cartilage or due to joint wear.

Cirugía de rodilla

Knee surgery

We apply modern knee surgery techniques, mainly arthroscopy, to treat meniscal tears, ligament ruptures, cartilage injuries and joint problems. Minimally invasive surgery allows for more comfortable recovery, a small scar and better functional results.

Tratamiento de Meniscos

Meniscus Treatment

We address injuries to the internal and external meniscus, from small tears to complex ruptures. We offer conservative options, such as physical therapy and strengthening, or arthroscopy when there is severe pain, joint locking or inability to support the knee properly.

Ligamento Cruzado (LCA)

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)

We treat anterior cruciate ligament injuries in athletes and active patients. ACL reconstruction is performed using advanced techniques that restore stability and prevent new injuries. We also handle cases where surgery is not necessary, depending on the patient's level of physical activity.

Rehabilitación Especializada

Specialized Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is essential to recover strength, stability and range of motion. We design personalized programs that include guided exercises, progressive strengthening, balance and conditioning, ensuring a safe return to daily or sports activities.

Manejo del Dolor

Pain Management

We treat acute or chronic joint pain caused by inflammation, injuries, tendinitis or wear. Pain management includes medical therapies, injections, medications and strengthening programs that reduce discomfort and improve mobility.

Artrosis de Rodilla

Knee Osteoarthritis

We evaluate and treat knee cartilage wear, which causes pain when walking, stiffness and difficulty climbing stairs. We offer advanced medical options, regenerative therapies, strengthening and, when necessary, corrective surgery or joint replacement.

Lesiones Deportivas de Rodilla

We treat injuries caused by impact, sudden movements, twists or overload. This includes sprains, micro-tears, contusions, meniscus injuries and ligament damage. The focus is on recovering performance and preventing relapses.

Meniscus tears usually cause pain when bending the knee, a "popping" sensation, locking when moving it, recurring inflammation or difficulty squatting. A definitive diagnosis is obtained through medical examination and studies such as magnetic resonance imaging.

Yes. Knee osteoarthritis causes pain when walking, morning stiffness, inflammation and difficulty going up or down stairs. The intensity increases with cartilage wear. A medical evaluation helps identify the degree and define the appropriate treatment.

Not always. Although many ACL tears require surgery to regain stability, some cases can be treated without surgery, especially in people with lower physical activity. An evaluation will determine if surgery is the best option for your lifestyle.

It depends on the procedure, but most patients recover mobility and strength between 6 weeks and 4 months. In ACL surgeries, complete recovery may take longer due to progressive rehabilitation.

Yes. Many knee injuries improve with physical therapy, medications, strengthening, injections or activity changes. Surgery is recommended when the damage is severe or pain persists despite conservative treatment.
