A member asked:
Is it a good idea for knee replacement @95%osteoarthritis in left knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : In the properly selected patient who has clearly failed nonoperative care and has pain that is clearly coming from an arthritic knee, a knee replacement can potentially have a dramatic impact on lowering there pain and improving their function. I would not hesitate to discuss the risks and benefits if your specific case with your surgeon.
