Comprehensive Care for Knee Conditions

The knee is a complex, weight-bearing joint vulnerable to overuse, sports injuries, and age-related wear. Dr. Strasburger brings years of expertise to diagnosing and managing a wide variety of knee concerns using advanced diagnostic techniques and a collaborative, patient-first approach. From helping athletes recover from ligament tears to supporting those facing arthritis, we are here at every stage of your care journey.

Knee Conditions We Treat

Knee discomfort can stem from many causes, whether sudden trauma or gradual changes within the joint. In some cases, conditions like severe arthritis or significant joint damage can progress to the point where knee replacement becomes the most effective treatment option. Sagewell Orthopaedics provides evaluation and treatment for a broad range of knee concerns, which may include:

  • Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear on joint cartilage causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
  • Ligament Injuries: Sprains or tears of the ACL, MCL, PCL, or LCL, often resulting from sports activities.
  • Meniscus Tears: Damage to the shock-absorbing cartilage in the knee, frequently caused by sudden twisting motions.
  • Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons, such as patellar tendonitis (jumper's knee).
  • Patellar Instability: Issues with the kneecap slipping out of its proper groove.

Our Approach: Personalized Solutions for Relief

At Sagewell Orthopaedics, your path to recovery begins with careful listening. Dr. Strasburger and our team take time to understand your symptoms, your lifestyle, and your goals. With advanced imaging and thorough assessment, we ensure your diagnosis is accurate, laying the groundwork for a treatment plan built just for you.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Whenever possible, we prioritize non-surgical therapies to help restore function, reduce pain, and improve your overall well-being.

  • Targeted Physical Therapy: A customized exercise plan to strengthen the muscles surrounding your knee and restore flexibility.
  • Biologic Therapies: Options such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy use your body's growth factors to support soft-tissue repair.
  • Innovative Comfort Management: Treatments like the iovera° system use targeted cold therapy to interrupt nerve signals and manage localized discomfort.
  • Lifestyle and Activity Modifications: Our team offers guidance to reduce stress on your knee and support the healing process.

Advanced Surgical Options

If non-surgical management is not sufficient, Dr. Strasburger is skilled in a range of surgical interventions. We focus on minimally invasive techniques whenever possible for a faster, smoother recovery.

  • Knee Arthroscopy: Minimally invasive surgery to address meniscus tears, remove loose bodies, or repair damaged ligaments.
  • CORI◊ Robotics-Assisted Knee Surgery: Dr. Strasburger utilizes the advanced CORI Robotics-Assisted Surgical System for partial and total knee replacements. As the first surgeon in Nebraska to use CORI◊, and still one of the few in the region, he brings unparalleled expertise to this procedure. This technology creates a precise, 3D digital model of your unique knee anatomy without a CT scan. It allows for highly individualized procedures designed to preserve healthy bone and tissue, supporting a more natural-feeling joint and encouraging a smoother recovery.

Revision Knee Surgery: For those needing correction or replacement of previous knee surgeries, we offer expert revision techniques.
