Joint Resurfacing - Dallas - Fort Worth, TX
The knee is a very mobile hinge joint in the human body. It’s designed with a complex arrangement of structures working together to provide the crucial leg movement needed for daily life. Trauma or repetitive stress can easily damage or destabilize the knee structures, leading to “wear and tear” arthritis known as osteoarthritis. If you suffer from pain in your knee, you know those conditions can keep you from enjoying the activities you love. Knee pain or arthritis may even interfere with your ability to care for your family or perform simple tasks like household chores.
Trust Dr. Walker to restore your mobility & strength
Dr. Walker is a knee and sports specialist who can diagnose and treat adults living with early to moderate osteoarthritis with partial knee resurfacing (knee cartilage repair surgery), selectively targeting only the damaged or worn-out joint compartment – medial (inside) compartment, lateral (outside) compartment or patellofemoral (kneecap) compartment. This lets selected, qualified patients shorten hospital stays and eases recoveries.
Whether you are a competitive athlete, a weekend warrior or simply an active adult, Dr. Walker can help you get back to the activities you most enjoy.
Most knee conditions can be treated without surgery. In the unlikely event that surgery is necessary, Dr. Walker uses the most advanced technology to reduce postoperative discomfort, scarring and recovery time. He has been trained in the robotic arm-assisted partial knee resurfacing procedure. This innovative treatment allows Dr. Walker to precisely position the implant and preserve healthy cartilage, ligaments and bone, resulting in more natural knee movement following surgery.
