Knee surgery may be appropriate for patients who have:

1) Severe knee discomfort or stiffness prohibits individuals from performing daily jobs and activities like walking, going upstairs, getting in and out of cars, and getting up from a chair.



2) Moderate but persistent knee discomfort that persists while sleeping or resting.

3) Chronic knee inflammation and edema that does not go away despite medicine or rest.

4) Knee deformity is characterised by a visible arch on the inside or outside of the knee.

5) Depression is caused by an unwillingness to engage in daily or social activities.

6) If all other treatment options have failed, surgery may be the best option.
