Knee pain caused by osteoarthritis is a very common condition that affects nearly 27 million Americans.
Treatments to address knee pain have remained largely the same for many decades, including knee replacement surgery. Recently however, advancements in surgical technologies have allowed surgeons to adopt alternative or minimally invasive approaches to knee replacement surgery which include reducing or eliminating the use of a tourniquet during the procedure. These Rapid Rehabilitation alternatives have resulted in less pain and faster recovery for patients, along with improved patient satisfaction scores following knee replacement surgery.
