Diagnosis and treatment
How we diagnose knee conditions
A clear diagnosis helps your specialist recommend the right treatment
Knee pain, swelling, instability, or limited motion can involve bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, or other structures, so your evaluation may include a review of your medical history, a physical exam, and diagnostic testing when needed.
Diagnostic testing may include digital X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans.
Treatment Options
Care may begin with nonsurgical options before surgery is considered
Before recommending surgery, Southern Oregon Orthopedics explores nonsurgical treatments when appropriate. Care may include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, bracing, activity modifications, corticosteroid injections, or orthobiologics.
When symptoms do not improve with nonsurgical care, surgery may be considered based on the condition, the extent of damage, and how much the symptoms affect movement and daily activity.
Knee replacement surgery
When knee pain limits daily life
If you have a severely damaged joint because of arthritis or due to structural defects in your knee, you might be a candidate for knee replacement surgery. This type of surgery focuses on replacing part or all of your damaged knee joint with an artificial joint to restore function and provide long-term pain relief.
Southern Oregon Orthopedics offers several types of knee replacement surgeries, using robot-assisted Mako SmartRobotics™ technology as well as knee joint revision surgery.
