Knee Pain: Targeted Treatment for Stability and Function

Knee injuries can significantly impact mobility and quality of life. Dr. Rothenberg provides specialized treatment for various knee conditions, helping patients recover from ligament damage, cartilage tears, and joint instability. 

ACL repair is a standard procedure to restore knee stability following ligament injury, allowing patients to regain confidence in movement. Meniscus surgery effectively treats cartilage tears, improving joint flexibility and reducing discomfort. 

For patients experiencing instability caused by ligament damage, targeted treatments for MCL, LCL, and PCL injuries strengthen the knee structure and enhance long-term function. Those suffering from patella (kneecap) instability benefit from procedures designed to correct alignment and prevent recurrent dislocations. 

In quadriceps or patella tendon injuries, surgical and non-surgical approaches help restore strength and movement, reducing pain and promoting long-term joint health. Patients searching for an orthopedic in Hackensack can rely on these advanced solutions for adequate recovery.

Shoulder Injuries: Restoring Strength and Motion

Chronic pain, instability, and restricted movement in the shoulder can make daily tasks challenging. Dr. Rothenberg offers a range of treatments designed to restore shoulder function and alleviate pain. 

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively treats torn tendons, helping patients regain strength and range of motion. Shoulder instability treatments address recurrent dislocations through targeted surgical interventions. 

For individuals suffering from shoulder arthritis, tailored treatment plans focus on reducing inflammation and enhancing joint mobility. Treatments for rotator cuff impingement and tendonitis alleviate discomfort and restore proper shoulder mechanics. 

Patients experiencing chronic pain from biceps or calcific tendonitis can benefit from specialized therapies to improve movement and reduce inflammation. Those with frozen shoulders receive comprehensive treatment to regain range of motion and minimize stiffness.

Elbow Conditions: Specialized Care for Strength and Recovery

Elbow injuries can disrupt daily activities, especially for athletes and those performing repetitive arm motions. Dr. Rothenberg provides expert care for UCL tears, biceps and triceps tendon ruptures, and conditions such as tennis and golfer’s elbow. 

His treatment plans focus on strengthening the joint, reducing pain, and restoring function through non-surgical therapies when possible. When necessary, surgical procedures are used to ensure long-term recovery and performance.

Cartilage Restoration: Cutting-Edge Regenerative Solutions

Cartilage damage can lead to chronic discomfort and mobility issues, making treatment essential for maintaining joint health. Dr. Rothenberg provides innovative solutions designed to repair and restore damaged cartilage. 

Autologous chondrocyte implantation is a regenerative procedure that uses a patient’s cells to repair joint surfaces, promoting natural healing and long-term joint function. Meniscus transplant procedures replace damaged cartilage with healthy donor tissue, allowing patients to regain knee stability and mobility. 

Osteochondral allograft transfer uses donor cartilage and bone to restore joint function, making it a valuable option for patients with severe cartilage loss. Realignment osteotomies correct bone alignment to reduce joint stress, alleviate pain, and prevent further degeneration. 

These cutting-edge procedures allow patients to improve mobility and avoid more invasive joint replacement surgeries. Patients in Hackensack seeking advanced orthopedic care can explore these regenerative options to restore joint function.
