PRP treatment for knee osteoarthritis works for some patients, not all of them. Trial data on mild to moderate osteoarthritis shows real, measurable improvement in pain and function, lasting at least six months for most people. That improvement fades for some by the...

ACL tear surgery replaces the torn ligament with a graft from the hamstring or patellar tendon, placed arthroscopically through small incisions. Surgery is recommended when the ligament is fully torn, physiotherapy fails to control instability, or the patient needs to...

Selecting the right knee surgeon requires evaluating three things: fellowship training in arthroscopy, high volume of similar cases, and a consultation that includes a proper clinical exam before surgery is recommended. General orthopedic training covers broad care...
