Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Knee replacement surgery is typically considered when other treatment options such as medication, physical therapy, and steroid injections have been exhausted and the patient's pain and mobility are significantly affected. Therefore, when medication is no longer effective, a surgeon would most likely consider knee replacement surgery.
