Knee · Orthopaedic Sports Medicine · Dallas, Texas
Dr. Raynor treats the knee injuries that keep people from walking, exercising, working and competing: ACL and meniscus tears, kneecap dislocations, cartilage damage and more. When surgery is the right answer, he explains why and follows the recovery through.
New ACL tear, kneecap dislocation or knee injury? Fast Track patients are typically seen within 1 to 3 business days.
The three knee problems Dr. Raynor sees most, in plain language.
Guide
What an ACL does, why it tears, how to tell if you need surgery, and what the road back to sport looks like.
Guide
Traumatic versus degenerative tears, when physical therapy is enough, and why repair and trimming have very different recoveries.
Guide
Patellar instability: will it happen again? Bracing, therapy, and when MPFL reconstruction keeps the kneecap in place.
No diagnosis yet
Most knee problems do not arrive with a label. Dr. Raynor's exam, with X-rays or an MRI when they are needed, sorts out what is going on and what to do about it. He does not perform knee replacements; patients with advanced arthritis are seen and, when the time comes, referred to the joint replacement surgeons in his group.
The operations he performs most often. Explore the procedure pages, recovery roadmaps, answers to the questions patients ask, and videos.
Patellar tendon, quad tendon or allograft, chosen for the patient.
Repair, root repair, and partial meniscectomy when repair is not possible.
For recurrent kneecap dislocation, with a tibial tubercle osteotomy when the anatomy calls for it.
Cartilage work, loose bodies and scar tissue through two small incisions.
