Knee Preservation vs. Knee Replacement

In knee preservation, we employ both nonsurgical and surgical therapies to restore or protect the tissues in your knee. A knee replacement involves removing all or part of the knee joint and replacing it with prosthetic pieces.

Some individuals may be able to avoid knee replacement surgery by undergoing preservation therapy. Our doctors often advocate knee preservation for adolescents younger than 50.

We avoid joint replacements in younger patients if feasible since they only last 10 to 20 years. We prefer to reserve knee replacements for patients over the age of 50 who have little to no cartilage left in their knee.

The goal of knee preservation is to cure particular diseases or issues in the knee so that patients have less pain and may resume their active lifestyle with their native knee. This is particularly true for younger and more active patients for whom a knee replacement is not appropriate.

Who may benefit from knee preservation techniques?

Our goal is to address these underlying knee disorders so that our patients may return to active lifestyles.

Knee joint preservation is indicated for the following reasons:

  1. Cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis.
  2. Meniscus Tears
  3. Rupture of the cruciate ligament.
  4. Runners' Knee
  5. Jumpers' Knee
  6. Leg misalignment (valgus or varus).

When Should I See a Doctor for Knee Pain?

If you've had a catastrophic knee injury, such as a twist or tumble while playing sports, consult a knee specialist for treatment. If you have knee discomfort that lasts two to three weeks worsens, interferes with your activities, or causes your knee to not function correctly, it may be time to see a specialist.

KNEE PROTECTION OPTIONS
