• People with an unstable knee or whose knee joint is not aligned properly may benefit from knee braces and orthotics (custom-made shoe inserts to minimize the strain on your knee).

  • With surgical treatment, the surgeon can replace the damaged surface of the joint with artificial material, remove inflamed synovial material, realign joints, fuse 2 or 3 bones together at a joint (fusion), or replace the entire joint with an artificial joint.
