KNEES
Whatever your condition may be, whatever you need in terms of diagnosis,
treatment and rehabilitation, for knee care that's second to none
in Northeastern Pennsylvania, you'll find the finest orthopaedic
services at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital.
The orthopaedic surgeons at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital are broadly
skilled in the most up-to-date arthroscopic methodologies and techniques.
The same applies to our extensive knee
joint replacement capabilities.
Total knee replacement (knee arthroplasty) is a major procedure
in which the injured or damaged parts of the knee may be replaced
with artificial parts. Osteoarthritis
is usually an underlying factor in choosing knee replacement. Other
factors that may make you a candidate for this procedure include:
- Regular, intense pain
- Pain that's severe enough to restrict your work, recreation
and other ordinary activities
- Significant stiffness, instability or deformity in the knee
In all cases, the experts at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital will
provide you with care that's advanced, thorough and appropriate
to your particular condition. From the smallest arthroscopic procedure
to total knee replacement, count on us for the treatment, therapy
and rehabilitation you need to return to pain-free living and far
better quality of life.
