Total Knee Joint Replacement
Are You Considering Knee Replacement Surgery?
Each patient is unique, but generally candidates
for knee replacement surgery have:
- Pain severe enough to restrict not only work and
recreation, but also the routine activities of daily
living
- Pain that is not relieved by more conservative
methods of treatment, such as reduced activity,
medication or physical therapy
- Significant joint stiffness and loss of mobility
- X-rays that show advanced arthritis or other
degenerative problems
