If you’ve been having problems or pain with a knee joint, and your doctor recommends you see an orthopedic surgeon for a knee surgery or procedure, it’s a good idea to inform yourself regarding not only the procedure, but what to expect, before, during and after.

What are your best options?

• Knee replacement surgery (Arthroplasty)
• Knee ligament repair
• Knee washout procedure
• Knee  abrasion arthroplasty
• Runner’s  Knee (Patellofemoral Stress Syndrome)
• Anterior cruciate ligament repair (ACL repair)

That’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to knee repair and surgery procedures. Knee surgery helps maintain and even increase range of motion, reduce your pain, and help repair tears or wear and tear caused by sports injuries, arthritis, or general aging.

Know your options, and they don’t have to be local! You can get the best in orthopedic surgery in locations around the world including India and South Korea, for half the price you’d pay in the United States or Great Britain. Research your options. Make sure your orthopaedic surgeon (regardless of where he or she is located) is certified through State, Provincial, or National Board of Orthopedic surgeon organizations or associations in their country of origin.

Don’t suffer through pain or limit your opportunities for optimal joint health. Get your knee problems taken care of. Your knees bear your weight and offer you independence and mobility.
