Be a CHAMP, don’t miss the RAMP! Medial meniscus RAMP lesions are tears at the peripheral capsular attachment that are often missed. They are commonly associated with ACL ruptures. For this patient we went with an all-inside technique to close the gap and facilitate healing.

At 54 years old – you can try to forget the years but you can’t ignore the mileage. I came to Dr Cole after a relatively catastrophic cartilage “pop and lock” in my right knee & given that I already had cartilage surgery in that same knee twice. Thanks for keeping me on my feet.
