Common Knee Conditions We Treat
Knee pain can stem from arthritis, injury, overuse, or degeneration over time. Dr. Morris evaluates the entire joint to determine the true source of your discomfort before recommending treatment. Common knee conditions we see are:
-
Knee Osteoarthritis
-
Meniscus Tears
-
ACL & MCL Tears
-
Cartilage Damage
-
Tendonitis
-
Knee Fractures
-
Sports-Related Knee Injuries
Non-Surgical Knee Treatments
Surgery is not always the first step. Many patients experience significant relief with conservative treatment options.
Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include:
-
– Targeted physical therapy
-
– Activity modification
-
– Anti-inflammatory medications
-
– Corticosteroid injections
-
– Viscosupplementation injections
-
– PRP therapy when appropriate
Injection therapy is commonly used for knee arthritis and inflammatory conditions. These treatments can reduce pain, improve function, and delay or even prevent the need for surgery.
Nurse Practitioner Nicole works closely with Dr. Morris and plays an important role in injection therapy and non-surgical knee management. Patients often appreciate the ability to receive timely treatment while knowing their care is overseen by Dr. Morris.

Knee Replacement Surgery
When conservative care no longer provides relief and knee arthritis significantly limits daily life, knee replacement surgery may be recommended.
Dr. Morris performs:
-
– Total knee replacement
-
– Partial knee replacement when appropriate
Knee replacement surgery removes damaged cartilage and replaces it with durable components designed to restore alignment and reduce pain. Most patients experience significant improvement in mobility and quality of life following recovery.
The majority of knee replacement patients are between 50 and 80 years old, though treatment is always based on overall health and lifestyle, not just age.
Dr. Morris performs surgery in Kerrville, Fredericksburg, and Boerne, allowing patients flexibility in choosing a hospital location that best fits their needs.

When should I see an orthopedic surgeon for knee pain?
If your knee pain lasts more than a few weeks, keeps returning, limits your daily activities, or is accompanied by swelling, instability, or difficulty walking, it’s time for an evaluation. Early diagnosis can often lead to more treatment options and may help prevent additional joint damage.
Can knee pain be treated without surgery?
Yes. Many patients improve with conservative treatments before surgery is ever considered. Depending on your condition, Dr. Morris may recommend physical therapy, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, viscosupplementation, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Surgery is only recommended when appropriate for your diagnosis and goals.
What causes chronic knee pain?
Chronic knee pain can develop from several conditions, including osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, tendonitis, bursitis, or previous injuries. A comprehensive evaluation helps determine the underlying cause so treatment can be tailored to your needs.
How do I know if I need knee replacement surgery?
Knee replacement may be considered when arthritis has significantly damaged the joint and conservative treatments no longer provide lasting relief. During your consultation, Dr. Morris will review your symptoms, imaging, overall health, and activity level before discussing whether knee replacement is the right option.
How long does recovery take after knee replacement?
Recovery varies from person to person, but many patients begin walking the same day as surgery and start physical therapy immediately. Most people continue improving over several months as strength, flexibility, and mobility return.
