DO YOU NEED A KNEE REPLACEMENT?

Are you experiencing persistent knee pain and wondering if a knee replacement is necessary?
Here are five signs that may indicate the need for a knee replacement:

Chronic Knee Pain: If you have been experiencing continuous knee pain that affects your daily activities and does not respond to conservative treatments such as medication or physical therapy, it may be time to consider a knee replacement.
Limited Mobility: Difficulty in performing simple tasks such as walking, climbing stairs, or getting up from a chair due to limited knee mobility can be a sign that a knee replacement could improve your quality of life.
Swelling and Inflammation: Persistent swelling and inflammation around the knee joint, accompanied by discomfort, may indicate advanced knee arthritis, which can be effectively addressed with a knee replacement.
Failed Non-Surgical Treatments: If non-surgical treatments like injections or bracing have provided temporary relief but the pain returns or worsens over time, it might be an indication that a knee replacement is necessary for long-term relief.
Impact on Daily Life: If knee pain significantly hinders your ability to engage in activities you enjoy, such as sports, exercise, or even simple tasks like walking the dog or playing with your children, a knee replacement can help restore your mobility and functionality.

If you are experiencing any of these signs, it is recommended to consult with an orthopedic specialist who can evaluate your condition and determine if a knee replacement is the appropriate solution for you.

COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF SERVICES

Our dedicated team is committed to meeting your specific needs and delivering exceptional care. With our comprehensive offerings, we provide a variety of surgical solutions tailored to your individual requirements. Our comprehensive services include:

TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

If you’re experiencing chronic knee pain and stiffness caused by severe arthritis or degenerative joint disease, a total knee replacement may be the solution for you. Our skilled surgeons utilize the latest advancements in orthopedic techniques to ensure optimal outcomes. By replacing the damaged joint surfaces with high-quality prosthetic components, we can relieve pain and improve function, allowing you to enjoy life to the fullest once again.

KNEE SCOPE (ARTHROSCOPY)

For diagnosing and treating various knee problems, we offer arthroscopic procedures, commonly known as knee scopes. This minimally invasive technique involves inserting a small camera (arthroscope) into the knee joint through tiny incisions. This allows our surgeons to visualize and address issues such as meniscal tears, cartilage damage, or ligament injuries with precision. By utilizing knee scopes, we can minimize tissue trauma, promote faster recovery, and facilitate a quicker return to your regular activities.

ACL REPAIR

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common sports-related knee injury that can significantly impact your mobility and athletic performance. At the Knee Center of Excellence, our orthopedic experts specialize in ACL repair surgery. Using advanced techniques, we can reconstruct the torn ligament to restore stability and function to your knee. With our comprehensive rehabilitation programs, we’ll guide you through each step of the recovery process, ensuring a successful return to your active lifestyle.
