Osteoarthritis is a common disease that affects the knee joint, causing destruction of joint cartilage. While nonsurgical treatments can be effective for mild to moderate cases, severe cases may require surgery. The most successful orthopaedic surgery for knee osteoarthritis is total knee replacement, which replaces osteoarthritic cartilage and bone with metal and plastic components. Partial knee replacement is an option for cases where only one side of the knee joint is affected. Surgery is performed under local sedation or general anesthesia, with a hospital stay typically lasting 1-3 days. After the procedure, physical therapy is necessary to regain balance, strength, and flexibility. OIBO knee specialists are highly trained and use the newest surgical techniques and equipment, resulting in high patient satisfaction. Contact OIBO to schedule an appointment.
