Arthritis And Knee Replacement Surgery
Dr. Juan Carlos Suarez, Orthopedic Surgeon with Miami Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute, says arthritis surgery is about quality of life. "If you cannot maintain quality of life with minimal treatment and you have tried all, it is time for knee surgery."
He also explains knee replacement is applicable to any kind of arthritis that destroys the joint, whether it is inflammatory arthritis, osteoarthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis.
