The knee is the heart of Dr. Mitchell’s practice — from first-time ACL tears to the complex, multiligament injuries other surgeons refer out. Fellowship-trained at The Steadman Clinic and published extensively on knee reconstruction, he offers the full spectrum of modern knee care.
Each of these areas will grow into its own detailed patient-education page. Here’s an overview of the knee care Dr. Mitchell provides.
Anatomic ACL reconstruction individualized to you — quadriceps tendon, patellar tendon (BTB), or other graft options — with biologic augmentation (the BioACL) and modern suspensory fixation available when appropriate.
When a prior ACL surgery has failed, revision demands careful planning. Dr. Mitchell has published peer-reviewed research on one-stage versus two-stage revision ACL reconstruction and treats these challenging cases regularly.
Knee dislocations and combined injuries of the ACL, PCL, MCL, and posterolateral corner — the complex reconstructions that were the focus of his fellowship training and much of his published research.
A "save the meniscus" philosophy: repair over removal whenever possible, including advanced techniques for meniscal root tears — a special focus of Dr. Mitchell’s surgical education work.
Joint-preserving options for cartilage damage — from osteochondral grafting to alignment-correcting osteotomy — aimed at keeping your own knee healthy for as long as possible.
Kneecap dislocations and instability, treated with MPFL reconstruction and a careful assessment of the anatomy that put the patella at risk in the first place.
An MRI report can be scary and confusing. Dr. Mitchell walks every patient through their imaging, explains what actually matters, and lays out surgical and non-surgical options honestly — surgery is only recommended when it’s truly the right answer.
