Knee Arthritis

Knee arthritis diagram

It's not what you have... its what you've lost !

  • You’ve lost that smooth cartilage lining
    • Like treads on a tire
  • The surface becomes raw and irritable
  • Your knee “cries” making more fluid than it can keep up with
  • Swelling, stiffness and PAIN!
Knee arthritis treatment options

Treatment Options:

  • Physical Therapy
    • Like Keeping your “Tires” in alignment”
  •  Medications
    • NSAIDS (Ibuprofen)
    • Creams
  • Injections
    • Cortisone
    • Gel (Hyaluronic Acid)
None of these options put cartilage back on the knee

Knee "Replacement"
= Resurfacing

  • Not removing your whole knee
  • Just resurfaces the worn out cartilage
  • Like a cap on the end of a tooth

Knee Replacement Components

  • The end of the bone is reshaped
  • Metal cap on the end of each bone
  • Plastic spacer in between
  • Plastic button resurfaces the knee cap
