Knee Osteoarthritis Surgical Treatment

What are the surgical options for knee osteoarthritis?

When nonsurgical knee arthritis treatments do not relieve knee pain and imaging confirms knee osteoarthritis, it is reasonable to consider the more definitive treatment option of surgery. Surgery for knee osteoarthritis is a knee replacement surgery, otherwise known as a partial or total knee arthroplasty. A joint replacement surgeon will need to be consulted to further discuss a knee replacement.

Since Dr. Chahla does not perform knee replacements, Dr. Chahla can provide you with a referral to a joint replacement surgeon he knows well and that performs over 1,000 knee replacements in a year. When consulting with a joint replacement surgeon, you will learn more about the surgical procedure of a knee replacement and the rehabilitation and recovery timeline. You will also have that opportunity to discuss any additional questions or concerns you may have regarding a knee replacement.

It is essential to seek medical attention if you suspect you have knee osteoarthritis or are experiencing knee pain and reduced mobility. Early diagnosis and appropriate management can help improve your quality of life and prevent the condition from worsening. A joint replacement surgeon that Dr. Chahla knows and trusts well will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
