Arthroscopy: How To Tell It's Time To Replace Your Knee

1. Instability

Patients with knee arthritis can experience a knee that periodically ‘gives way’. This is a result of the knee becoming ever looser within the cavity because of the progressive nature of arthritis. It can be especially noticeable when the knee is bent, and a person loses steadiness. From here, a person can suffer frequent falls and further damage or injuries. At this point, a knee surgery can help reverse the problem and prevent subsequent problems.
