Choosing who to operate on

  • Summary

  • Here I discuss some of the things I look for when seeing patients in the office when I am deciding on what treatment options are appropriate. Weight bearing x-rays are important. Ask patients to describe their symptoms. Do not simply ask someone to describe their pain on a scale of one to ten. Find out how their knee has affected their quality of life. Lastly, find out what treatment options have been tried and be sure to offer conservative treatment options to the patient before undergoing surgery.
