Say goodbye to knee pain

A lot of people experience knee pain due to many causes. And, most of the time, knee pain can be dealt with non-surgically through the RICE (Rest-Ice-Compress-Elevate) protocol, physical therapy, medication, and rehabilitation. However, more severe cases may need knee surgery.

The best way for orthopedic doctors to diagnose and treat knee pain is through knee arthroscopy. In this procedure, a small camera is inserted through a small incision in the knee. This allows them to view the damage clearly as well as fix it. This is a minimally invasive procedure, which is why patients are allowed to go home after as long as they take extra care and the right medication.

For more serious cases, though, orthopedic surgeons may recommend knee surgery. Knee arthoplasty or knee replacement can free a patient from chronic knee pain for about twenty years. This procedure is accomplished without cutting the quadriceps muscles.
