Orthoscopic Knee Surgery
by Gigi4647, Jul 03, 2009 08:04AM
Has anyone had any experience with having knee surgery to correct osteoarthritis?
I am scheduled to have orthoscopic knee surgery on my right knee to correct problems I am having related to osteoarthritis. Does this type of surgery prevent osteoarthritis from returning? Is this surgery safe? What is recovery like after surgery?
Any information anyone has regarding this topic will be greatly appreciated.

Arthroscopic surgical intervention for osteoarthritis of the knee have been found to be no better than placebo at relieving symptoms.
So discuss all the pros and cons with your surgeon and every case differs from the other.
Take care!
