Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an injury and osteoarthritis of the knee?

Injuries such as ligament and meniscus tears usually follow a sudden twist or fall. Osteoarthritis develops gradually as the joint cartilage wears down. An examination and imaging help show which one is behind your symptoms.

Do all knee problems need surgery?

No. Many knee problems improve with non-surgical care such as rest, activity changes and physiotherapy. Surgery is considered when that is not enough or when an injury leaves the joint unstable.

When should I see an orthopedic surgeon about knee pain?

See one if the pain is severe or persistent, if there is swelling, if the knee gives way or locks, or if it affects your walking. The knee pain guide explains more.
