Outcomes From Patients Who Came to Dr. Tehrany
Real patients, real procedures, real results. These stories reflect what you can expect from care at Manhattan Orthopedic Care.
"As a firefighter with the FDNY, I depend on my body every day. Dr. Tehrany performed my ACL reconstruction using a quadriceps autograft and the results were a 100% recovery that exceeded every expectation I had."
FDNY Firefighter · ACL Reconstruction
"Dr. Tehrany performed a wonderful meniscus repair on my knee and I was back on my feet in no time. My recovery was seamless, the pain was gone. There was no doubt I would go back for my second knee, and the second surgery was just as successful as the first."
Meniscus Repair, both knees · Manhattan Office
"I'm able to do more than what I used to do before the surgery."
Knee Arthroscopy
"Dr. Tehrany just performed my third knee arthroscopy and with confidence I can say this was my best experience yet. My former experience with larger orthopedic hospitals included slow response times and bureaucratic steps. MOC was all about efficiency. My knee work was conducted 8 days after it exploded in pain. The technicalities and expected outcomes were all explained to me in crystal clear terms."

Knee Procedures
Arthroscopic Knee Surgery We Perform
Dr. Tehrany specializes in minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures, meaning smaller incisions, less downtime, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Each procedure is tailored to the individual patient's injury and activity goals.
ACL
ACL Reconstruction
Repairs a torn anterior cruciate ligament using a graft to restore knee stability and function. Allows athletes and active individuals to return to sports and daily activities with confidence.
Meniscus
Meniscus Repair
Sutures torn cartilage to preserve healthy knee function and shock absorption. Patients recover with reduced pain and a higher chance of full return to activity compared to removal alone.
Arthroscopy
Knee Arthroscopy
A minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a range of knee conditions. Smaller incisions mean shorter recovery times and less disruption to surrounding tissue.
Cartilage
Arthroscopic Chondroplasty
Smooths worn cartilage surfaces, restoring joint function and reducing pain. Supports long-term knee mobility and overall comfort through a minimally invasive approach.
Loose Body
Loose Body Removal
Removes bone or cartilage fragments floating within the joint that cause pain and limit range of motion. Patients often experience immediate improvement in mobility after this procedure.
Microfracture
Microfracture Drilling
Creates tiny perforations in the bone to stimulate new cartilage growth and improve joint health. Best suited for isolated chondral defects where natural repair is possible.
Meniscectomy
Knee Meniscectomy
Removes damaged cartilage while preserving as much healthy meniscus tissue as possible. An outpatient procedure that relieves pain and helps patients return to daily activities quickly.
Patella
Lateral Release and Medial Imbrication
Addresses patellar tracking issues by correcting the alignment of the kneecap. Relieves persistent pain and instability caused by tight or misaligned tissues around the patella.
