Understanding Knee Sports Injuries

ACL rupture, meniscal tears, and instability — focused on the knee rather than general sports medicine.

Dr. Ya'ish's sports practice is focused on knee sports injuries: ACL and other ligament reconstruction, meniscal repair, and arthroscopic cartilage work.

A pop, swelling, and giving-way after a pivoting injury should be assessed clinically and with MRI when indicated.

Not every knee sports injury needs surgery. Repair versus reconstruction, and the rehabilitation timetable, depend on the structures involved.

Bring previous imaging and a list of sports or prayer positions you need to return to so the plan can be specific.
