From Physical Therapy to Knee Replacement: Today’s Treatment Options for Knee Arthritis

Living with knee pain? If you are experiencing severe knee pain, you may be considering a total joint replacement. In this virtual presentation, Orthopaedic Surgeon and Joint Replacement Specialist Kevin Choo, M.D., Orthopaedic & Neurosurgery Specialists (ONS), will discuss both non-surgical and surgical options for chronic knee pain and osteoarthritis. Non-surgical options include medications, therapy, injections and bracing. He will also explain when surgery is the best solution and what types of knee surgeries are performed today.

Not too long ago it was common for a nearly two-week hospital stay after a joint replacement. Over time, it decreased to about two to five days. Now there are other options including ambulatory surgery.

The free webinar is being held on Wednesday, June 8, from 6-7 p.m.

Choo is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in primary hip and knee replacement for the treatment of degenerative osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, avascular necrosis, hip dysplasia, and post-traumatic arthrosis. He earned his medical degree from the University of Chicago and completed his internship and residency at UCSF (University of California — San Francisco). He received fellowship training in Adult Reconstruction and Joint Replacement at the Rothman Institute in Philadelphia, PA
