    Preparing for the Meniscus Surgery

    When you visit us regarding your knee pain, our team will thoroughly assess the joint to make an accurate diagnosis and proceed with the correct treatment. Before your meniscus surgery, we will instruct you on the preparation to allow for a smooth procedure and recovery.

    Make sure you have someone to drive you home after the surgery since anesthesia and pain medicine make it unsafe for you to do it on your own. Inform your doctor about the medicines you are taking, as they might ask you to stop taking blood thinners or medicines that prevent blood clots. Our orthopedic team will review your medical history and explain the procedure to you so that you are mentally prepared and can make an informed decision.

    Meniscus Surgery

    Our Meniscus Surgery Procedure in Houston, TX

    The meniscus refers to the wedge-shaped cartilage pieces that sit between the thigh bone and shin bone. Known as menisci, the two cartilage pieces stabilize the knee joint and function as the shock absorber. If you have a severe meniscus tear, we will perform a surgical procedure to restore the health and stability of your knee joint.

    You might have a damaged meniscus due to forceful rotation, squatting, pivoting, and twisting. If the tear is severe, you may require our meniscus surgery. We usually perform arthroscopic surgery, which involves making two to three small incisions in the knee and inserting a camera through one of the cuts.

    This way, we have a proper view of the damaged tissue to close the tear, and then we suture the incisions on the skin, too. After your meniscus surgery in Houston with us, we will place a bandage on the wounds.

    You can expect rapid healing and quick recovery with the minimally invasive approach. Our surgeon and his team incorporate advanced techniques to make the procedure all the more safe and comfortable for our patients!

    Recovery Period

    After your meniscus surgery in Houston, we will instruct you regarding the aftercare for a safe and rapid recovery. You should apply an ice pack to your knee right after surgery to prevent swelling and diminish pain. Other than this, keep your knee elevated while resting and use crutches to help prevent any unnecessary strain while walking.

    You should follow our long-term rehabilitation plan, which may require you to wear a knee brace to reach full recovery. Our aim is to regain movement, restore mobility, and rebuild strength in your knee joint.

    Dr. Barrett Brown is a very fine physician. He is also a friend. While he is a surgeon he said this about my horribly painful shoulder. First we will try an injection performed by our specialist using ultra sound. (It was painless.) If that does not relieve your pain we will do a cat scan to evaluate the rotator cuff.

    Highly recommend Dr Brown!!! He took time to answer all questions without rushing. I called his office in severe pain and received the in- office MRI and Dr appt the next day then Dr Brown explained my condition and I was booked for surgery with their on-site hospital days later. The surgery went great and I was treated great by all staff. They have valet service as well. Thanks Dr Brown and all staff!!!

    I had a rotator cuff repair with Dr. Brown. Everyone at this hospital from the registration staff, pre-op nurse, surgery staff, recovery room nurse, the anesthesiologist, and of course, the surgeon, Dr. Brown were all professional and caring.

    I have, unfortunately, been a frequent visitor to the Fondren Orthopedic clinic as I cannot seem to stay on my feet 😅. My most recent experience with Dr. Brown has been nothing short of excellent. From the initial exam to surgery and then the follow up and discussion of how I am healing have been extremely thorough and communication has been a 10. I would definitely recommend.
