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.
