Beyond care of the athlete, trauma and arthritis patients find relief through reconstruction surgery Dr. Foster performs focused on joint preservation. New techniques such as partial knee replacement can be especially effective for patients with knee pain who are active, but may be too young for total knee arthroplasty. Less invasive procedures such as arthroscopy allow patients to get back to the things they enjoy in life quickly.
