THE ORTHOPAEDIC EVALUATION

The Orthopaedic evaluation consists of several components:

- A medical history, in which your Orthopaedic surgeon gathers information about your general health and asks you about the extent of your knee pain and your ability to function.

- A physical examination to assess your knee motion, stability, and strength and overall leg alignment.

- X-rays to determine the extent of damage and deformity in your knee.

- Your Orthopaedic surgeon will review the results of your evaluation with you and discuss whether total knee replacement would be the best method to relieve your pain and improve your function.
