Arthroscopy & replacement

Knee surgery that gets you back on your feet.

From a torn ACL to a worn-out joint, Dr. Bastian treats the full range of knee problems with arthroscopy and joint replacement.

Quick answer

Dr. Bastian treats ACL and other ligament tears, meniscus injuries, cartilage damage and arthritis — using knee arthroscopy and, for advanced arthritis, partial or total knee replacement.

Pain, instability, or both

A knee that buckles, locks, swells or simply hurts can keep you from the things you love. The right treatment depends on what’s actually wrong — a careful diagnosis is everything.

Many knee injuries respond to therapy, bracing and time. When surgery is needed, arthroscopy can address meniscus and ligament problems through small incisions, while joint replacement is a reliable solution for advanced arthritis.

What to expect

Dr. Bastian will examine your knee, review your imaging, and explain the diagnosis clearly. Together you’ll choose a plan — often starting conservatively — that fits your activity level and goals.

Dr. Bastian believes in conservative care first when it makes sense — many problems improve with therapy, injections, bracing or time. When surgery is the right answer, he’ll explain exactly why, what it involves, and what recovery looks like, so you can decide with confidence.

Common questions

Knee FAQs

Do I need a knee replacement or can it be saved? +
Many knees can be treated without replacement, especially earlier in the course of a problem. Replacement is reserved for advanced arthritis that limits your life and hasn’t responded to other measures. Dr. Bastian will give you an honest assessment.
How soon can I walk after knee arthroscopy? +
Most patients are walking the same day with crutches as needed, and ramp up over the following days to weeks depending on what was done.
What is a partial knee replacement? +
When arthritis affects only one part of the knee, a partial replacement resurfaces just that compartment — preserving more of your natural knee, often with a quicker recovery than a total replacement.
