Synergy Orthopedics surgeons provide knee replacement surgery for various conditions at Scripps Hospital in San Diego. Knee replacement surgery may be considered for individuals with chronic knee pain, stiffness, or reduced function that has not improved with non-surgical treatment. Synergy Orthopedics surgeons at Scripps evaluate each patient’s condition, symptoms, imaging results, and treatment history to determine whether knee replacement may be an appropriate option.
Knee replacement surgery is a procedure used to treat certain knee conditions that cause ongoing pain, stiffness, and limitations in daily activities. It may be considered when symptoms persist despite non-surgical treatments such as medication, physical therapy, activity modification, or assistive devices. Some conditions that may lead to knee replacement surgery include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, degenerative joint disease, and avascular necrosis.
Our orthopedic surgeons may recommend different surgical or non-surgical approaches based on the location and severity of joint damage. Knee replacement treatments include total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy. Treatment plans are developed based on each patient’s condition, symptoms, and goals.
