Pes anserine bursitis can create an aching, irritated feeling along the inside of the knee.

The pes bursa is like a small sac of oil that reduces friction where three tendons attach. When it becomes inflamed, it can feel swollen, tender, and “angry.”

A cortisone injection works like a concentrated anti-inflammatory — similar in purpose to ibuprofen — but delivered directly into the inflamed bursa.

Instead of circulating through your whole body, it targets the exact source of inflammation.
✔️ Reduces swelling
✔️ Calms irritation
✔️ Relieves pain

Combined with proper stretching and activity modification, this can significantly improve symptoms and restore function.

🦵 What you don’t see after knee replacement matters.

After a total knee replacement (TKA), Dr. Corbett Winegar closes the incision using layered, dissolvable sutures — not staples.

While staples are faster, Dr. Winegar uses a plastic-surgery–grade layered closure technique designed to:

• Support proper healing
• Reduce surface tension on the skin
• Improve cosmetic appearance
• Eliminate staple removal appointments

Every layer is carefully closed to promote strength, healing, and a smoother scar result.

Precision doesn’t stop at the implant — it continues all the way to the final stitch.

When properly addressed, the likelihood of recurrence is low.

Blackrock Orthopedics: A Name Inspired by Family

During his first year of medical school, Dr. Corbett Winegar’s father sent him three pieces of wood: one rough and splintered, one petrified, and one polished black rock. The message was simple but powerful—through time, pressure, and perseverance, something once fragile and raw can become strong, refined, and enduring.

That lesson became the foundation of Blackrock Orthopedics and reflects how we approach patient care: walking with patients through injury, recovery, and transformation back to strength.

To honor that story, Dr. Winegar asked his mom, Gail Winegar, an accomplished artist, to paint the rings of petrified wood. Her artwork now hangs in our office as a daily reminder of resilience, family, and purpose.

Dr. Corbett Winegar, MD, FAAOS, is a fellowship-trained knee specialist with advanced training focused exclusively on knee care—from sports injuries to complex knee replacement and revision surgery.

⭐ Dr. Corbett Winegar’s 5 Tips for a Great-Looking Scar After Knee Replacement ⭐

If you’ve had a knee replacement (or are getting ready for one), you may be wondering how to help your scar heal in the best way possible. While everyone heals differently, these are Dr. Winegar’s top evidence-supported principles to promote a clean, smooth-appearing incision:

🛑 1. Don’t Let the Incision Get Infected
A clean, protected incision heals better. Infection is one of the main causes of widened or thickened scars.

Keep Steri-Strips On
Let them fall off naturally. They support the healing incision and help prevent stretching of the scar.

💧 2. Moisturize (Only After the Incision Is Fully Closed)
Once cleared by your surgeon, moisturizing helps reduce tightness, dryness, and irritation around the scar.

☀️ 3. Use Sunscreen for the First Year
New scar tissue can permanently darken in the sun. SPF 30+ helps protect and even out the long-term appearance.

🤲 4. Gentle Scar Massage
After your surgeon approves, massage can help break up deeper scar tissue and prevent the layers from sticking together—reducing rippling or bunching of the scar.

🎗️ 5. Bonus: Silicone Tape or Gel
Silicone products have strong clinical support for flattening and softening scars over time.
