Dr. Gomoll specializes in the minimally invasive treatment of joint injuries through trauma, sports, or just an active lifestyle that has finally caught up with you.
In the knee, he performs procedures to repair meniscal injury, ACL tears, patellar instability, cartilage damage and osteoarthritis.
He has a large referral practice for failed ligament surgery, mostly ACL reconstruction. Dealing on a routine basis with the complexities of young patients with multiple prior ACL procedures has also made him a sought after surgeon for initial ACL reconstruction.
His main focus is on joint preservation, for which he performs procedures intended to delay the need for joint replacement. Patients develop cartilage damage and early arthritis after prior injury and surgery involving the ACL and meniscus, or just being anatomically built in a way that leads to early degeneration. Joint preservation can be achieved through the use of osteotomy (high tibial, distal femoral, tibial tubercle), meniscal transplantation and cartilage repair. Cartilage repair options include osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) repair, subchondral drilling (microfracture), osteochondral autograft transfer (OATS/Mosaicplasty), osteochondral allograft transplantation, and autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI).
