Orthopedic knee surgery is a common operation, relieving uncomfortable musculoskeletal symptoms. Patients seeking treatment must speak with an orthopedic doctor to determine if surgery is required for their condition. The following symptoms are indicative of needing an appointment with Dr. Horn Orthopedics’ specialist: Persistent PainPain following trauma or injury is common, resolving itself within 24-48 hours. Persistent pain lasts more than 3 months. Patients suffering from constant, chronic pain are good candidates for knee surgery. An orthopedic doctor trims damaged cartilage and removes loose bone debris, potentially correcting and relieving the issue causing pain. Joint StiffnessJoint stiffness can cause patients to feel held back from routine activities. Stiffness leads to inactivity, further exacerbating the issue. Surgical techniques allow orthopedists to correct joint or knee stiffness, making movement more comfortable. Doctors must detect the underlying cause of stiffness before determining the correct surgical treatment method. Decreased Range of MotionThe painful sensation of bones rubbing together decreases a patient’s range of motion. Movement becomes difficult or impossible without orthopedic treatment. Knee surgery allows orthopedists to replace the damaged joint, reducing pain. An artificial joint is inserted, mimicking a healthy knee. Ambulation becomes smoother and enables patients to move more freely without pain. Patients can return to stretching or exercising following the recovery period. Orthopedic knee surgery can allow patients to get back to a pain-free life. Patients seeking knee pain relief should schedule an appointment with our orthopedic specialist.
