One Focus. Proven Results.
By focusing only on knees, we’ve built extensive experience treating:
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears
- Meniscus tears and other injuries
- Knee arthritis
- Other knee conditions
We help you get off the sidelines and back to living, working and playing the way you want faster and with better long-term results.
Here are some of our results.
Results for treatment of ACL tears
Our treatment for ACL tears includes:
- Physical therapy (rehab) to restore range of motion before strengthening your knee, done before and after surgery. Our accelerated post-op physical therapy helps you recover faster.
- Surgery that uses the strongest graft available to reconstruct your ACL.
Athletes with ACL tears treated at Shelbourne Knee Center:
- Have a 85–90% return to sport rate, compared to a 50–60% average for most orthopedic practices
- Return to sport in as little as 3 months after surgery, with an average of 4–6 months after surgery
- Have a lower risk of arthritis in the future than patients at other orthopedic practices

Results for treatment of knee arthritis
Physical therapy, not knee replacement surgery, is our main treatment for knee arthritis. We’ve developed a specialized knee arthritis PT program that helps most patients stay out of the operating room:
- 76% of our patients didn’t need knee replacement surgery after completing physical therapy at Shelbourne Knee Center.
- Most patients had less pain and stiffness within 4–6 weeks of starting physical therapy.
If you do need a knee replacement, physical therapy before surgery will help you have a better result and an easier recovery.
