Surgery
Knee replacement is a major surgery, and should only be performed when
absolutely necessary.

Stem Cells
This experimental treatment
uses bone marrow stem cells from the hip
to help regenerate cartilage tissue in the knee.
A small but growing number of doctors are turning to cutting-edge stem cell
therapy as an alterative to knee replacement surgery. One
study
found that stem cell therapy after knee surgery helped reduce pain and repair
the knee.
Knee Osteotomy
Weigh Your Options
It’s important to consider all your options and explore alternatives to knee
replacement surgery. However, discuss the procedure with your doctor if you’ve
exhausted your options or your surgeon feels that your knee requires a total or
partial replacement. Delaying a necessary surgery can cause additional long-term
problems.
