A meniscus tear can cause knee pain, swelling, and difficulty moving comfortably. But what should you do if you suspect you’ve injured yours?

Dr. Tehrany explains what you need to know about a torn meniscus and why getting the right diagnosis is an important first step toward recovery.

🩺 Inside the Shoulder: Arthroscopic Synovectomy

One of the things I like about arthroscopy is that it lets me see exactly what’s happening inside the joint.

In this case, you can see the biceps tendon, areas of arthritis, and inflamed tissue inside the shoulder. That red, irritated tissue can contribute to pain and limited movement, so part of the procedure is carefully addressing it while also evaluating the surrounding structures.

Every shoulder tells a different story once you look inside. My job is to understand what’s causing the problem and treat what actually needs to be treated.

🩺 Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Part 2 of 2

In this second part, I’m showing you more of what the actual rotator cuff repair looks like from inside the shoulder.

For this patient, I used a double-row repair technique, placing anchors to help secure the tendon back where it belongs and give it the best environment to heal.

One thing I always remind patients: the surgery is only the beginning. The repaired cuff still needs time, often 3 to 6 months, to heal properly. That’s why wearing the sling, going to physical therapy, and following the recovery plan are so important.

A good repair matters, but so does respecting the healing process afterward.

🩺 Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Part 1 of 2

Today I’m taking you inside the surgery center to show you what I’m looking at during an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

In this case, I’m evaluating the shoulder from the inside, including some biceps pathology, before moving forward with repairing the rotator cuff.

One of the things I appreciate about arthroscopy is that it allows me to see these structures directly and address the problem through a minimally invasive approach.

This patient also happens to be someone I’ve gotten to know very well over time, which always makes helping them get back to doing what they love especially meaningful.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where I’ll show you more of the repair itself.

🩺 Knee Dislocation: Part 3 of 3

When I evaluate a knee dislocation, I’m not only looking at the ligaments or what shows up on an MRI. I also need to make sure the nerves and blood vessels around the knee are intact.

That’s why the physical exam matters so much. I check circulation, pulses, sensation, and overall stability, and depending on the injury, additional testing may be necessary.

The more traumatic the injury, the more important it is to look beyond the obvious damage and make sure nothing critical is being missed.

That’s really the message I want patients to take from this series: with a knee dislocation, a thorough evaluation is essential from the very beginning.

🩺 Knee Dislocation: Part 2 of 3

One thing I want patients to understand is that when a knee dislocates, the damage can go beyond the bones themselves.

The soft tissues around the joint can also be injured, including the ligaments and other structures that help keep the knee stable. Depending on how the injury happened and how severe it is, treatment may involve physical therapy and in some cases, surgery.

That’s why I always look at the whole injury, not just what shows up on the surface.

In Part 3, I’ll talk more about how we evaluate these injuries and decide on the right treatment approach.

🩺 Knee Dislocation: Part 1 of 3

When I talk to patients about a knee dislocation, one of the first things I explain is that not every “dislocated knee” is actually the same injury.

Sometimes it’s the kneecap that has moved out of position. A true knee joint dislocation, however, is much more serious and can involve several important structures at once.

That distinction matters because the treatment and the urgency can be very different.

In this first part, I’m breaking down what a knee dislocation actually is. In the next two reels, I’ll go deeper into the injuries it can cause and how I evaluate and treat them.

🩺 A Little About Me
I’m Dr. Armin Tehrany, and for me, orthopedic care has always been more than just treating an injury. It’s about helping people get back to the life and activities they love.

I’m an orthopedic surgeon at Mount Sinai and see patients at my private practice on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. Within orthopedic surgery, I specialize in minimally invasive surgery of the shoulder and knee.

What matters most to me is taking the time to understand each patient, explain their options clearly, and find the right path forward together.

Whether you’re dealing with a new injury or pain that’s been holding you back, my goal is to help you move forward with confidence.

Harder cases aren't a liability. They're a responsibility.

Every surgeon has cases they could reasonably decline. Complex revisions. High-risk anatomy. Patients who've been told elsewhere that their situation is ""too complicated.""

I take most of them.

Not because I'm reckless — but because I think walking away from complexity, when you have the training and the tools to address it, is a failure of what this profession is supposed to be.

The patients who come to us after being turned away somewhere else aren't problems. They're people who needed a surgeon willing to think harder, plan more carefully, and commit fully.

That's what I signed up for.
If you've been told your case is too complex or you need a second opinion, reach out. We'll take a look.
