The hip labrum is a ring of cartilage that helps keep your hip joint stable, acting like a suction seal. Tears in the labrum can happen suddenly from a sports injury, fall, or accident but more often, they develop gradually from wear and tear, sometimes linked to early hip arthritis.

If you’re experiencing hip pain, stiffness, or clicking, it could be a labral tear. Treatment options range from physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medications to minimally invasive arthroscopic repair for more severe cases.

Did you know that not every patient with knee arthritis needs a total knee replacement? For about 12–15% of patients, the arthritis is limited to one part of the knee making them candidates for partial knee replacement.

Unlike total knee replacement, this minimally invasive procedure replaces only the damaged portion of the joint. Benefits often include:
✅ Less blood loss
✅ Less postoperative pain
✅ Lower infection risk
✅ A knee that feels more “natural”

📍 If you’re in Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Seattle, Bothell, or Renton, Dr. Robin Fuchs can help determine if partial knee replacement is right for you.

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of the four major ligaments in your knee. Located on the inside of the joint, it connects your femur (thigh bone) to your tibia (shin bone), helping provide stability and minimizing stress across the knee.

MCL injuries often occur after a blow to the outside of the knee and can range from mild sprains to complete tears. Because the ligament heals slowly, proper evaluation and treatment are key to recovery.

👉 If you’re experiencing knee pain after an injury, schedule a consultation with Dr. Robin Fuchs, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon in Kirkland, WA. Call (425) 823-4000 or request an appointment online.
