At the Shelbourne Knee Center, our pioneering efforts to focus only on the specialty of knee pain and injuries have given us unmatched insight into the options available to patients. Our team has tracked the outcomes of thousands of patients from non-surgical treatments to ACL reconstructions. And from this experience, our fellowship trained surgeons know when therapeutic options are more successful than surgery and how to minimize recovery time when surgery is necessary.
