Knee Surgeons
Your knees support almost every move you make — walking, running, riding a bike, weight lifting, and more. Daily wear and tear can eventually take its toll, or you may experience an injury to one or both of your knees through physical activity. When this occurs, it’s important to see an experienced knee surgeon right away, as the problem will only worsen with additional movement and weight bearing.
The team of physicians and surgeons at Chatham Orthopaedic Associates treats a variety of knee injuries and conditions, including dislocation, arthritis, meniscal tears, tendonitis, fractures, bursitis, and sports injuries. While at times, the issue can be addressed with physical therapy or another non-surgical procedure, others may need a more extensive surgical treatment plan.

When you visit our office for an initial examination, one of our knee surgeons or specialists will evaluate your condition and recommend the best treatment plan for you. When surgery is found to be the most effective solution, we’ll take the time to understand your needs and concerns.
You’ll need some time for recovery following your knee surgery — your individual recovery period will depend on the extent of the procedure and other factors. Managing pain during recovery is key, and your surgeon may recommend anything from over-the-counter pain medication to stronger prescription drugs. A pain management specialist will help you understand the benefits and drawbacks of each option.
If you are experiencing severe pain and have been recommended knee surgery, contact Chatham Orthopaedic Associates. We have several practice locations in Savannah, Richmond Hill, Pooler, Rincon, and Claxton. Contact us to schedule an evaluation with a knee surgeon and determine the proper treatment plan.
Knee Replacement Surgery
Your knees often take the brunt of heavy impact activities, and over time they can become weak or damaged. When your knee is damaged from arthritis, a sports injury, or another kind of knee injury, it can be hard to perform simple activities like running or walking. Over time, even small knee injuries can cause a lot of pain when sitting or standing. When non-surgical, or physical therapy treatments are simply not enough to alleviate knee pain, you may require knee surgery or total knee replacement surgery.
Chatham Orthopaedics’ team of expert physicians and surgeons focus on patient satisfaction and specialize in knee surgery, including minimally invasive treatment options. Knee replacement surgery has evolved over the years with new materials and techniques, and today knee replacement surgery is one of the most commonly successful surgeries performed.
The surgeons at Chatham Orthopaedics in Savannah, GA are experts in their field. Rest assured that our years of experience as a leading orthopaedic practice in Richmond Hill, Pooler, Rincon and Savannah will translate to getting you back to living a pain-free lifestyle in no time.
