Knee Pain Causes, Conditions and Treatments

Kaitlyn C

I want to thank Dr. Williams and Melissa for all of their help over the past two years. Dr. Williams performed a Femoral Distal Osteotomy on my right leg in order to re-align my leg and ease the pain I was having in my knee due to not having a meniscus anymore. At 24 years old, I could not walk up the stairs without knee pain. I was back on my feet 5 weeks after the initial surgery and felt great after a few months of physical therapy. 2 years later I now have the plate removed and feel better than ever. Although, this surgery may seem intense, the process was easy and I was back quicker than I imagined. I no longer have knee pain, I am enjoying activities, and working out without knee pain. I highly recommend Dr. Williams and the HSS staff. Thank you!
