I hope that you will be interested in a new article written for the patient-facing website www.totalhealth.co.uk by Misters Charles Gibbon and Michael Wilkinson of The Lister Hospital. In the articles they discuss the best options for partial knee replacement and wrenched/twisted knees.
For patients with degenerative joint disease or osteoporosis it may seem that a total knee replacement is an unavoidable step however, Mr Charles Gibbons proposes that a partial knee replacement is, in fact, the best option. Other surgical options include osteotomy and arthroscopy. Mr Michael Wilkinson has written two articles in a straight-forward manner, detailing causes, symptoms and treatments for a wrenched knee and encourages the use of arthroscopic surgery to treat this condition.
