Joseph J. Czarnecki, M.D.

My interest in shoulder conditions includes arthroscopic rotator cuff, instability, labral, AC joint and cartilage repairs.

For the knee, my focus is on advanced cartilage repair including matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI), osteochondral autograft and allograft reconstruction, anterior and posterior cruciate ligament (ACL/PCL) and other knee ligament reconstructions, meniscal repair and reconstruction, and patellofemoral joint problems such as instability and chondral defects, including osteotomies and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstructions.

For the hip, I specialize in arthroscopic treatment of labral tears and femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) as well as hip tendon tears including endoscopic proximal hamstring and abductor tendon repairs.

For the ankle, my interests include the treatment of cartilage lesions, tendon injuries, and instability.

Non-surgical treatment methods that we utilize to treat these joints also include the use of ultrasound-guided joint injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections.

My hobbies include striper and tuna fishing, snorkeling and playing sports with my three sons.

Did You Know?

• Dr. Czarnecki was one of the first surgeons in New England to perform ACL reconstructions using quadriceps tendon autograft
• Dr. Czarnecki is one of a handful of surgeons in the US who performs endoscopic proximal hamstring repairs. This innovative technique reattaches torn hamstring tendons to the pelvis using three tiny incisions instead of a large 9″ incision, causing much less pain with lower complication rate
• Dr. Czarnecki continues to teach Orthopaedic Residents from the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Program
• Dr. Czarnecki serves as faculty for the Arthroscopy Association of North America teaching residents, fellows and practicing Orthopaedic Surgeons
