Advanced Orthopedic Services

For patients with arthritis isolated to one part of the knee, Dr. Pearle offers a robotic partial knee replacement—a procedure he helped pioneer in New York. Using the MAKO robotic system, he resurfaces only the damaged area, preserving healthy bone and ligaments for a knee that feels natural from day one.

Dr. Pearle is internationally recognized for his expertise in ACL surgery and injury prevention. A long-time member of the international ACL Study Group and former Editor-in-Chief of Techniques in Knee Surgery, he has helped define modern ACL reconstruction methods used around the world.

When arthritis affects the entire joint, Dr. Pearle performs total knee replacement using advanced computer navigation to achieve ideal alignment and function. This technology maps each patient’s anatomy in real time, allowing for a precise, balanced fit and smoother motion.

Meniscus injuries are among the most common causes of knee pain and instability, particularly for active individuals. Dr. Pearle specializes in arthroscopic meniscus repair and preservation, using techniques that maintain as much natural cartilage as possible.

Cartilage damage can cause pain, swelling, and catching inside the knee, often limiting movement and performance. As a leader in sports medicine and joint preservation, Dr. Pearle performs advanced cartilage restoration procedures designed to repair or replace damaged tissue while protecting the surrounding bone and joint surface.

Rotator cuff tears can cause shoulder pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting the arm. Dr. Pearle performs minimally invasive arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to reattach the torn tendon and restore normal shoulder mechanics. His approach focuses on protecting the repair while guiding a structured recovery that rebuilds strength, stability, and long-term shoulder function.

Shoulder impingement occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff rub or catch beneath the bone at the top of the shoulder, often causing pain, weakness, or restricted motion. For many patients, this develops gradually through overuse or repetitive overhead activity. Dr. Pearle treats shoulder impingement arthroscopically—using small incisions and precision instruments to remove inflamed tissue and smooth the bone surface.

Injury or inflammation of the biceps tendon is a common source of shoulder pain, particularly in athletes and active individuals. Using small arthroscopic incisions, he repositions or releases the damaged tendon—reducing irritation and improving comfort without compromising strength.

A SLAP tear is an injury to the ring of cartilage (labrum) that helps stabilize the shoulder socket. It often affects athletes who perform repeated overhead motions—such as throwers, tennis players, or swimmers—but can also occur from a single injury or fall. Dr. Pearle uses minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to repair the torn labrum and restore shoulder stability.

The acromioclavicular (AC) joint sits at the top of the shoulder, connecting the collarbone to the shoulder blade. Over time or after injury, this joint can become painful and limit upper-body strength and motion. Dr. Pearle treats AC joint pain arthroscopically by removing the damaged end of the collarbone to eliminate friction while preserving joint stability.

PRP therapy uses your body’s own healing properties to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support tissue repair. It’s a non-surgical option often used to treat early arthritis, cartilage damage, and chronic tendon irritation in the knee. PRP can help calm inflammation, protect cartilage, and, in some cases, promote new tissue growth. For many patients, it offers meaningful relief and improved mobility without downtime or surgery.
