What are other symptoms occur with knee conditions besides paint?

In addition to pain, knee conditions can cause swelling, stiffness, instability, locking, or difficulty with movement. Symptoms often worsen with activity and may limit daily function. 

How is knee pain treated at LBJI?

Treatment depends on the severity and cause of the condition. Many patients improve with non-surgical care such as physical therapy, medications, or injections. More advanced cases may require arthroscopic procedures or knee replacement surgery. 

What happens during minimally invasive knee surgery?

Minimally invasive knee surgery uses small incisions and specialized instruments to repair or remove damaged tissue within the joint. This approach is designed to reduce pain, shorten recovery time, and improve mobility. 

What is total knee replacement?

A total knee replacement is a surgical procedure in which damaged joint surfaces are removed and replaced with a prosthetic implant. It is typically recommended for advanced arthritis or severe joint degeneration when other treatments are no longer effective. 

The goal is to relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life.
