What can decrease knee joint wear and tear?

Dr. Bertrand Kaper answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Reconstructive Surgery

Healthy muscles: The best way to take good care of your knees and minimize the wear and tear is through a combination of low impact activities, maintaining health weight, and regular muscle conditioning/strengthening. Consult with a physical therapist or orthopaedic surgeon for specific instructions.
