The knee is the most complex joint in the body and extremely vulnerable to injury and arthritis. When everyday activities like sitting and climbing stairs become too painful or difficult, orthopedic surgeons usually recommend total knee replacement surgery.

Anita M Brielle, NJ

"I had a total knee replacement in September, 2010. Prior to surgery I was in continual pain, and unable to lead an active life. I couldn't climb stairs bilaterally; couldn't walk a full city block without resting; couldn't get a good night's sleep. The surgery was successful beyond my wildest dreams. By the third day home I had discarded the walker for a cane, and within three weeks I was only using the cane to summon a cab. Integral to this success was not only the skill of the surgeon and the nursing and therapy care, but also the pain management team."
